20-year-old flaw found in Windows Print Spooler
US-based researchers have discovered a 20-year-old flaw in Windows Print Spooler – program responsible for the printing process – that lets attackers slip malware into a PC. As the spooler doesn't verify any printer drivers' legitimacy, it's possible for attackers to install maliciously-coded drivers through the internet or the printer. However, Microsoft had later released a patch for the same.
