Windows Vista, the most advanced operating system of Microsoft today has uncovered a security flaw. Just like an obedient dog, it listens to anything:
Microsoft’s initial investigation reveals that this vulnerability could allow an attacker to use the speech recognition feature in Windows Vista to verbally execute commands on a user’s computer. The attackers’ commands are limited to the rights of the logged on user. User Account Control prohibits the attacker from executing any administrative level commands.
- A user can turn off their computer speakers and/or microphone.
- If a user does run an audio file that attempts to execute commands on their system, they should close the Windows Media Player, turn off speech recognition and restart their computer.
