Symantec: Exploit Out For Outlook Express Vulnerability
Fri Jun 24, 7:22 PM ET

Symantec on Friday warned that a working exploit has appeared for one of 
the vulnerabilities Microsoft revealed last week, making it even more 
imperative that the patch be deployed.

The vulnerability, dubbed MS05-030 by Microsoft on June 14, relates 
specifically to Outlook Express, the bare-bones e-mail client packaged 
with Windows. According to Microsoft, Outlook Express has a bug in its 
NNTP parsing function that hackers can exploit by creating a news server 
loaded with malicious code.
