flaws the software giant announced include a vulnerability in the Microsoft Data Access Component software in Windows 2000 and XP, along with Microsoft's SQL Server 2000 and Windows Server 2003. The flaw could allow an attacker to take over a vulnerable system--only after successfully disguising the attacking computer as an SQL server. Because of the complexity of the attack, Microsoft graded the flaw as "important," not critical.

Autoupdate is the thing to do - especially if you're on BB. I generally find I get a patch the day before someone tells me about it! :p
