Microsoft to patch animated cursor bug early

Microsoft Corp. will patch the increasingly dangerous Windows animated cursor vulnerability tomorrow, a week early, a spokesman of the company's security team said yesterday.

"Microsoft originally planned to release the update on Tuesday, April 10, as part of its regular monthly release of security bulletins," the spokesman said in an e-mail. "However, Microsoft is aware of the existence of a public attack utilizing the vulnerability, [and] since testing has been completed, Microsoft will release the update ahead of schedule to help protect customers."
