images/news/windows.jpgA new zero-day flaw has been reported in a system component of Microsoft's Windows XP.

Experts warned that, depending on the way in which the attack is conducted, the flaw could allow an attacker to execute code on a target system.

The vulnerability lies in two Windows components known as MFC42 and MFC71 which are part of the Windows API that is used by virtually all Windows applications to communicate with the operating system.
