  Microsoft Haunted by 17-year old 'feature'
 Friday, January 22, 2010 at 17:17
Friday, January 22, 2010 at 17:17 It looks like that every Windows version is susceptible to a 17-year old 'feature' that could give hackers access to your computer. The 'feature' exist since Windows v3.51, which dates from the last century (this way it looks even older :-) )
The person (Tavis Ormandy) who discovered this feature did a full disclosere which can be found here. So you'd better start watching your 3.51 Operating Systems (and above).
