www.403-security.org, says that the problem affects Hyper Terminal,
an application included with most versions of the Windows operating
system that allows a user to establish a secure connection with
another machine. Kotarac, known in the security field by the name
Astral, says that he first contacted Microsoft about the vulnerability in
November 2000 and has become frustrated by the company’s lack of
concern.”
