Wired News:

Microsoft acknowledged a serious flaw Wednesday in its Internet server software that could allow sophisticated hackers to seize control of websites, steal information and use vulnerable computers to attack others online.

The software, which runs about one-third of the world's Web sites, is used by millions of businesses and organizations but less commonly by home users. Microsoft made available a free patch for customers using versions of its Internet Information Server software with its Windows NT or Windows 2000 operating systems.
