Microsoft reveals another 'critical' flaw


Associated Press



Redmond, Wash. -  Microsoft Corp. disclosed a security flaw Thursday of "critical" severity in its Outlook Express e-mail programs.

 The flaw, which affects the free e-mail software bundled in Microsoft's Internet Explorer Web browser, could allow attackers to crash the e-mail program or to potentially take over the user's machine.

 The flaw does not affect Microsoft Outlook, the e-mail program included in the Office suite of business software.

 Users who downloaded the "service packs" for either Windows XP or Internet Explorer 6.0 are already protected against an attack, the company said. Others were advised to download the patch.

 The security bulletin is the Redmond-based company's 58th this year.
