Microsoft is warning of a vulnerability for which no patch is currently
available that can be exploited to take control of users' machines.
Users can become infected simply by visiting a website that has been
seeded with malware. The flaw affects customers using Internet Explorer
(IE) on machines running Windows XP or Windows Server 2003. The flaw
has been actively exploited for about a week; thousands of sites have
been hacked. Users are directed to these sites by clicking on links in
spam email. The flaw lies in the way Microsoft Video ActiveX Control
interacts with IE. Until a patch is made available, users are urged to
take steps, described in Microsoft's security advisory, to prevent
Microsoft Video Access Control from running in IE.
