Microsoft Releases Workaround For Kernel Flaw Used By Duqu
In an advisory issued Thursday night, Microsoft security officials said that the flaw is in the TrueType font parsing engine in Windows. This is the first time that the exact location and nature of the flaw has been made public. Microsoft said that the permanent fix for the new vulnerability will not be ready in time for next week's November patch Tuesday release.
