Microsoft fixes 19-year-old Windows bug

Microsoft Corp has issued patches to fix a bug in its Windows operating system that has remained undiscovered for 19 years. The bug can be used to remotely control a PC, therefore Windows users are urged to immediately download new security updates on their machines. The company has issued 14 patches to address the matter, with two more expected to be rolled out in the future. IBM Corp's cybersecurity research team discovered the bug in May, describing it as a "significant vulnerability" in the operating system. IBM said the bug can be used by an attacker for drive-by attacks to reliably run code remotely and take over the user’s machine — even sidestepping the Enhanced Protected Mode.

The buggy code is at least 19 years old and has been remotely exploitable for the past 18 years.
