The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) warned Wednesday that a
recently patched Microsoft Corp. Windows vulnerability could put the
nation's critical infrastructure at risk.

The patch, described in Microsoft Security Bulletin MS06-040, relates
to Windows Server services. It was one of 12 updates issued Tuesday, by
the software giant, but security experts are particularly concerned
with the bug because hackers have already exploited the vulnerability.
The vulnerability is described here:
