Microsoft has issued a critical advisory, warning users of a vulnerability discovered in a component of its IIS Web server and Internet Explorer Web browser. The flaw exists in several versions of Microsoft Data Access Components, components that allow programs to access and manipulate databases, and it could allow an outsider to take over a Web server, spread an e-mail virus or spawn a network worm. Millions of PCs running Windows 2000, 98 and 95 could be affected, too.
