Microsoft vulnerabilities

[GIANT_CRAB]

So it seems like Microsoft had some vulnerabilities that were undiscovered for years.

In particular, MS14-070 and MS14-071.

You guys might want to update your Microsoft servers and Windows computers.

Unfortunately that is impossible for me.  Microsoft officially ended support for Windows for Workgroups 3.11 in 2001.

No worries, my Windows computers don't have internet connection.

People still use Windows ?

I have one plugged in Windows XP portable just in case I need something in Windows land.  It remains on, but disconnected from network.

MS14-066 is also critical. Make sure to update!

Microsoft and Security never ever go together.

Microsoft and Security never ever go together.

Only if you leave the windows open, which most people do.

And what exactly makes MS14-066 worse than Heartbleed or Shelshock which affected millions of Linux servers?!?

@vRozenSch00n:

Yea I've seen stuff like that around, but never managed to get an XP portable image working on a usb drive.. (lost at least a week of time to that stuff), thats why i asked for a source

The only problem with XP is the drivers if we use it on different machines and if I'm not mistaken the 64Bit version only available for corporation.
