THE BRITISH security outfit NGSSoftware said that it has found multiple high risk vulnerabilities in the Windows version of the Eudora email client.

A company spokesman said full details would be released only after a three-month period, to give users time to download a version of the mail client in which the bugs have been fixed.

According to the advisory, here, Qualcomm, which makes Eudora, has released version 6.2.1 which addresses these problems.

The flaw creates errors in the viewing of emails and the handling of stationery and mailbox files.

A successful exploit will permit an attacker to execute code with the privileges of the user running Eudora. µ

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?

Yes, companies should suffer an immediate death penalty upon being accused of copyright infringement.

Yes, the coppers said the company was breaking the law so it must be guilty.

No, the company and the people accused are innocent until proven guilty.

No, the company had millions of customers who have been harmed by having access to their data files cut off.

I don't care, I never used Megaupload anyway.
