MS06-040 & MS06-042 News
Seems that Microsoft is having more patch fun and games.
As per my previous blog entry, if you have not deployed MS06-040 then do so as soon as possible. There are several trojans running around that exploit this security hole and whilst none of them do much in the way of damage it has to be assumed it's only a matter of time until something nasty occurs.
At the time of writing several worms were know to be in the wild, Symantec have a good summary of the type of trojans that are being seen.
According to Microsoft Security blog article part of MS06-042 is going to be re-released by 22nd August thanks to a bug in HTTP 1.1 compression routines.
