From ars technica comes another story of Sony's headache with Rootkits. And no, this is not the same one as last month.
On Tuesday, Sony informed the world that its other DRM software contained a security vulnerability as well. SunnComm's Media Max version 5 is the culprit, with its installation of a directory that could provide a means by which malware writers could hijack a PCs running Windows. The problem was discovered in late November by Information Security Partners, which shared it with the EFF and Sony.
So, if you own any of these CDs, you better get the patch that plugs the security hole... Even though I'm guessing that it will do nothing at all. Or better yet, it'll more than likely create another hole.
