Vupen Last week, a French company specializing in finding vulnerabilities in software from Microsoft, Adobe, Apple and Oracle, published a tweet in which put on sale the first zero day vulnerability in Windows 8, "For Sale: Our first 0day for Win8 + IE10 with HiASLR / AntiROP / DEP bypass sandbox & Prot Mode (Flash not needed). " Vupen is known for selling vulnerabilities to governments and companies and not share the details of the same with software vendors affected. The company defends accusing them of malpractice ensuring that your information helps organizations to defend against hackers. Vupen has only taken a few days to find the first zero day vulnerabilities in Windows 8, released a couple of weeks, and its browser, Internet Explorer 10. It is said that a zero day vulnerability is when you have not made ??public nor is there a patch for it. Though already discovered some vulnerabilities in software running on Windows 8, it seems the Vupen is the first operating system that affects . since Microsoft say the company has encouraged researchers to participate in their Coordinated Vulnerability Disclosure program, which requires time to fix the problem before posting the details of it, details that can take advantage of the cybercriminals to exploit bugs and launch their attacks. 's message of Vupen Twitter, writing on Wednesday, implies that the vulnerability could allow a hacker to overcome the security technologies of Windows 8. The message also indicates that the problem is not a failure depends on Adobe Flash. Whilst it is true that the market opportunity to develop a successful exploit is limited due to the recent launch of Windows 8 has not been confirmed to operate also in previous versions of the operating system or the Microsoft browser, secure in Infoworld.

Buna stire, dar mi se pare penibil sa afirme ca este primul 0day din windows 8.

Asta pentru ca ai citit prost, este " Our first 0day for Win8 ".

Le-a luat cam putin, la cat de mult s-a laudat Microsoft.
