back to article Let's kick off our summer with a pwn-me-by-Wi-Fi bug in Microsoft Windows

Microsoft kicked off our summer season with a relatively light June Patch Tuesday, releasing updates for 49 CVE-tagged security flaws in its products – including one bug deemed critical, a fairly terrifying one in wireless networking, and one listed as publicly disclosed. The one that's listed as publicly known, and not yet …

    "can be exploited by a remote attacker to potentially exhaust CPU resources on a vulnerable system, causing it to stop working as intended."

    Yes, I noticed my laptop had slowed to a crawl last night...

    Oh, it's Tuesday... must be another bunch of patches coming down the pipe. 'Exhausting CPU resources'... that'll be Win Update

      More of the same but only more so !!!

      "Oh, it's Tuesday... must be another bunch of patches coming down the pipe. 'Exhausting CPU resources'... that'll be Win Update"

      Exhausting my and every 'thinking' users patience .... once again !!!

      Unknown billions being spent on 'CoPilot' in everything + 'Recall' to cover the areas that may have been missed !!!

      An excuse to push everyone to buy more kit and waste more money on S/W that almost but not quite works (Sounds so familiar, does it not) !!!

      Here is an idea:

      Spend the billions making the Software that is already here such as Windows 11 + all the apps that everyone uses each day actually *work* as advertised.

      Fix the bugs and insecurities once and for all, stop looking at the imagined future when the present *still* does not work !!!

      These things cannot *ever* be fixed by putting yet another layer of S/W over the mess and hoping that it will somehow *work this time* !!!

      AI is a dream that no amount of dodgy marketing can make real with the technology of today !!!

      Scam after scam after scam ... conning the financial markets that AI will solve so many problems ... including ones that have to be invented.

      Does no-one learn lessons ... actually 'learn' rather than quote the oft repeated phrase with no intention of 'learning' at all !!!

      :)

        Totally agreed! But can we start with Windows 10, or 7, or XP? 11 seems to be a power hungry scam and environmental timebomb, when everyone throws out their powerful computers because they are not quite powerful enough to run Micros~1's latest spyware.

      Windows Update is the largest DDoS botnet in the world.

    MS should let their own AI loose on their code. Go and find all the bugs.

      Do you want to replace code with nnnn bugs with this code:

      include <stdio.h>

      int main() {

      // printf() displays the string inside quotation

      printf("Hello, World!");

      return 0;

      }

        This is the real bug

        int main()

        {

        for(;;)

        {

        printf("Hello World!");

        }

        return 0;

        }
