Google (NSDQ: GOOG) has started sending out a patch for its Android operating system to fix a security problem with the browser, and addressed a few other minor changes, CNet reports. The patch is going out on various days, with CNet reporting that they received notification on Saturday. I received the patch for my T-Mobile G1 on Sunday. The update went smoothly. A short message appeared saying an update was available, and then I had the choice of updating now or later. I clicked now, and it happened over a matter of minutes, and then the phone worked normally. The patch comes only about a week after a couple of researchers revealed the flaw on Oct. 24, showing that Google is being responsive to concerns.

Microsoft to Issue Emergency Patch For File-Sharing Hole

An anonymous reader writes "Microsoft said late Wednesday that it plans to release a critical security update today to plug a security hole present in all supported versions of Windows.

Microsoft's "Dead Cow" Patch Was 7 Years In the Making

narramissic writes "Back in March 2001, a hacker named Josh Buchbinder (a.k.a Sir Dystic) published code showing how an attack on a flaw in Microsoft's SMB (Server Message Block) service worked. Or maybe the flaw was first disclosed at Defcon 2000, by Veracode Chief Scientist Christien Rioux (a.k.a. Dildog). It was so long ago, memory is dim. Either way, it has taken Microsoft an unusually long time to fix. Now, a mere seven and a half years later, Microsoft has released a patch. 'I've been holding my breath since 2001 for this patch,' said Shavlik Technologies CTO Eric Schultze, in an e-mailed statement. Buchbinder's attack, called a SMB relay attack, 'showed how easy it was to take control of a remote machine without knowing the password,' he said.

e1000e Bug Squashed — Linux Kernel Patch Released

ruphus13 writes "As mentioned earlier, there was a kernel bug in the alpha/beta version of the Linux kernel (up to 2.6.27 rc7), which was corrupting (and rendering useless) the EEPROM/NVM of adapters. Thankfully, a patch is now out that prevents writing to the EEPROM once the driver is loaded, and this follows a patch released by Intel earlier in the week. From the article: 'The Intel team is currently working on narrowing down the details of how and why these chipsets were affected. They also plan on releasing patches shortly to restore the EEPROM on any adapters that have been affected, via saved images using ethtool -e or from identical systems.' This is good news as we move towards a production release!"
