Looks like some hackers named "Hexview" released a hack to the public instead of giving it to the vendor privately so they could patch it prior to working exploits being available. Hopefully a patch will be coming out soon, since it was first reported about 6 months ago, but the way it was disclosed was highly irresponsible.

After 6 months, you would think a patch could have been made by a mega-billion dollar company.

Yea its not like they have had five months between then and now to fix it right?

reported to Microsoft in April, but the company has yet to provide a fix for the problem.

Oh wait its exactly like that..

Does the security of Microsoft products REALLY rely on the charity of hackers to privately report the defects they find in Microsoft software?

Good Lord, it's worse than I thought. I'm glad I don't use the affected product.
