A patch has been issued by Trend Micro to plug the hole. Reston, Va.-based VeriSign iDefense, which was credited with the discovery of the flaw, noted in an online advisory that no authentication was needed by the attacker and a successful attack would allow "complete control of the affected system." iDefense first reported the vulnerability to Trend Micro on Jan. 17. <-QUOTE}
