Attention users of Outlook or Outlook Express on Windows: Microsoft's MS00-043 security bulletin offers a patch for a very serious security problem, described in a warning by the SANS Institute: "Outlook and Outlook Express share a vulnerability that allows attackers to run programs of their choice on your computer and all you have to do is download email from the server. You don't have to open it or read it. [...] SANS, Microsoft, and the FBI all suggest, as strongly as we can, that you install this patch before leaving work today." Download and install this patch! http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/MS00-043.asp (N.B. If Outlook were built with Java, this vulnerability could not happen) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-advocacy" in the body of the message
