It?s now getting a bit funny.

According to Microsoft the attacker have to log on locally to insert this mysterious applications for this to work. This means that he has break in to you house, boot your computer and log on with all privileges in order to do this.

This crafty person is of course also capable to uninstall a previously installed program on you PC, so the update KB2724197 will not protect you from this type of attac.

Has this ever happened? According to Microsoft: No.

So who came up whit this idea then?
If you scroll to the bottom of the page above, it was an anonymous person from the
US IDEFENSE SECURITY INTELLIGENCE SERVICES:

Microsoft thanks the following for working with us to help protect customers:
An anonymous researcher, working with VeriSign iDefense Labs, for reporting the Windows Kernel Integer Overflow Vulnerability (CVE-2012-2529)


Here is the real reason:
SPEAKER: James Bidzos, Executive Chairman, VeriSign, Inc.:

Conclusion:
It is not Microsoft who?s pushing this issue, but the US government.
