Screaming Penguin - Source Does Matter

Yep, its basically the same flaw widely discussed and publicized already, elevated priveleges in the Microsoft Virtual Machine. However, a team of "US Academics" at the Secure Internet Program Laboratory have succesfully demonstrated the capabilities of this "disastrous security flaw."Time for refund day again?The team took 2 days to create an exploit that deletes files from a local machine just by receiving an email. Just getting it. Not opening it, or clicking on it, nothing, just it being sent and received. That is truly a "disastrous" exploit and could yield monumental reprocussions. "Melissa" caused a panic and supposedly shut down several companies, imagine a REAL exploit sent via email that has attacked before you know it. This is the most potentially damaging exploit to date (for Windoze machines of course.)Check this VNU story for further details.
