Another Windows 7 Zero-Day Released

Microsoft s security response team is investigating the release of a new zero-day flaw that exposes Windows 7 users to blue-screen crashes or code execution attacks. The flaw could be exploited by local attackers to cause a denial-of-service or potentially gain elevated privileges, according to an advisory from VUPEN, a French security research outfit. Microsoft plans to issue 13 bulletins with patches for 34 vulnerabilities tomorrow (Tuesday August 10) but it is unlikely we will see a fix for this new issue.
