Remote Exploit of Vista Speech Control

URL: http://rss.slashdot.org/~r/Slashdot/slashdot/~3/84934677/article.pl

An anonymous reader writes "George Ou writes in his blog that he found
a remote exploit for the new and shiny Vista Speech Control.
Specifically, websites playing soundfiles can trigger arbitrary
commands. Ou reports that Microsoft confirmed the bug and suggested as
workarounds that either 'A user can turn off their computer speakers
and/or microphone'; or, 'If a user does run an audio file that attempts
to execute commands on their system, they should close the Windows
Media Player, turn off speech recognition, and restart their computer.'
Well, who didn't see that coming?"
