[Infowarrior] - Windows 7 and BSOD

[Richard Forno]

Here we go again......the more things change, the more they stay the  
same!!!  -rf

Windows 7 when it ships next month will be vulnerable to an attack  
that hasn't been possible since 1999, a new vulnerability found by a  
security researcher shows. Sending a deliberately malformed network  
negotiation request can force a Windows 7 system into a page fault  
that triggers a "blue screen of death" error, even without the user's  
help in launching the code. The attack affects both 32-bit and 64-bit  
versions of the OS.
