Microsoft's Urgent "Out-of-Band" Security Update

Earlier today Microsoft announced that it has released an urgent "out-of-band" security update. The update is considered "critical" for Windows XP and older operating systems and "important" for Windows Vista version.

Users should consider emergency patching procedures as Microsoft reports that although the vulnerability is limited it could be exploited by old-school techniques such as worm invasions that could attack and leave a system heavily damaged.
