MS Giving Exploit Writers Clues To Flaws 63
In the IT trench writes "How's this for a new twist on the old responsible disclosure debate? Hackers are using clues from Microsoft's pre-patch security advisories to create and publish proof-of-concept exploits. The latest zero-day flaw in the Windows DNS Server RPC interface implementation is a perfect example of the tug-o-war within the Microsoft Security Response Center about how much information should be included in the pre-patch advisory."

Damn Microsoft! Their full disclosure is allowing hackers to write exploits; don't tell the hackers how to hack my system!
Damn Microsoft! They're kinda going half way in a vain attempt to stop people flaming, as if I'm going to stop doing that! Stick with one or the other, we'll flame you whatever you do anyway.
