Una vulnerabilidad de QuickTime pone en peligro a PCs con XP y Vista

Un fallo crítico en las versiones 7.2 y 7.3 de QuickTime – y puede que sus versiones previas – podría provocar la entrada de crackers en nuestras máquinas de forma remota, tal y como han avisado Symantec y el US-CERT.

La vulnerabilidad se encuentra en la gestión del protocolo RSTP (Real Time Streaming Protocol) que se incluye en QuickTime y que puede ser utilizada para que el atacante obligue a la víctima a visitar contenidos de streaming especialmente adaptados y nocivos a los que podría accederse mediante archivos adjuntos QTL al correo electrónico.

Un exploit que aprovechase esta técnica podría ser utilizado para instalar malware o incluso registrar el sistema en busca de contraseñas.

Eee PC mod brings some internal Bluetooth

The Asus Eee PC isn’t missing many must-have specs right out of the box, but there’s always going to be a reason or three for some internal Bluetooth.
Luckily, the hack really isn’t too terribly difficult as demonstrated by tnkgrl — as long as you’ve got a basic idea about what you’re doing when it comes to a few stray USB wires and a motherboard.
It involves a standard USB Bluetooth dongle stripped to its essentials and hooked up to the mini PCIe slot that also hosts the Eee PC’s wireless card.
The hack doesn’t mess with your original wireless, and provides the sweet, sweet Bluetooths to XP and the standard Xandros OS.
And speaking of Xandros, someone’s also gone through the trouble of getting their WM6 HTC TyTN up and tethered with the Eee — which seems like a natural next step after you manage the tnkgrl hack, but we’re not the boss of you.
