Microsoft on a bug hunt
Microsoft plans to scour its code to look for flaws similar to a recent serious Windows bug and to update its development practices to prevent similar problems in future products, reports CNet.
The new species of flaw creates a new twist in Microsoft’s battle with hackers, as it works to improve its security practices.
The critical flaw, in the way Windows Meta File images are handled, is different from any security vulnerability the software maker has dealt with in the past, say Kevin Kean and Debby Fry Wilson, directors at Microsoft’s Security Response Centre.
In response to the new threat, the software company is pledging to take a look at its programs, to avoid similar problems.
