Microsoft refutes Windows Media Player vulnerability

30.12.2008

Microsoft said it began investigating the report of the vulnerability as soon as it was posted late Christmas Eve, and that researchers worked over the holiday period to look into the situation.

Microsoft ultimately discovered that the so-called vulnerability was part of "ongoing code maintenance" and that it's already been addressed in Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 2. Microsoft plans to address the problem in future versions of its software.
