NeonWizard Posted June 9, 2004 Report Share Posted June 9, 2004 Microsoft released two security patches for its Windows operating systems on Tuesday, plugging holes in an online gaming feature and a third-party program the company includes with several applications. One patch fixes a problem in the DirectPlay network gaming functionality of DirectX, which enables games that support the feature to offer head-to-head matchups over the Internet. The security issue could enable an attacker to disrupt the connection and crash the game.The second patch solves a security problem with the Crystal Reports Web Viewer, a third-party product included with Visual Studio .Net 2003, Outlook 2003 with Business Contact Manager, and Microsoft Business Solutions CRM 1.2. The flaw could allow for a denial-of-service attack or give an attacker access to information on the computer.Read Article Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
