Microsoft's Fresh New DLL Hell

« Securing PHP and MySQL From SQL Injection - Part 2 | Main | Symantec is Getting Jiggy With It! »

Way back when the issue with DLLs was in versioning. Now Microsoft has a fresh new security issue with DLLs. Which just from a developers take looks pretty bad. CNet estimates that dozens of apps could be effected, including obscure applications like Word, PowerPoint, Firefox, Chrome and Photoshop. For it's part Microsoft is still being a little cagey about which apps are vulnerable.

To my eyes, it doesn't look like the primary issue here is with the applications themselves. This seems to be a vulnerability built right into the operating system.
