MS Dismisses WMP bug

Security

So Laurent Gaffi says there is a bug in Windows Media Player which could allow maleware to infect a PC by use of media files.  This tends to grab everyones attention because even the lamest of all PC users has figured out how to watch movies and listen to music on their PC's right?

Well, today MS says thats a bunch of crap and that the what Gaffi discovered is a "reliability issue with no security risk to customers,"

Let me think about that, a reliability issue, meaning that there "could" be code that "could" cause the software to work in a way it wasn't intended to.  Doesn't sound very reassuring does it?  Then agian, when doesn't MS products have a million issues with it?  It's just business as usual right?

For those that didn't want to catch the link, Gaffi says this issue exists in the following versions of WMP 9, 10 and 11.  Now go scan your tunes with your AV software and stop pirating music.  At least till there is a patch out.
