A group of security professionals has released a patch to repair a
serious flaw in older Windows versions for which Microsoft no longer
provides security updates. 

The group, which calls itself the Zeroday Emergency Response Team, or
ZERT, created the patch so users of Windows versions that are no longer
officially supported can protect their PCs against increasing attacks
that utilize a recently disclosed Windows flaw.
