Several versions of Microsoft Windows operating system have vulnerabilities that may be exploited by hackers to remotely take control of a personal computer.

This week Microsoft warned of the bug in a special alert saying that it has yet to develop software to plug the hole in Windows or to figure out a workaround to the problem.

The Redmond reports that it does not know any attacks to date that tried to exploit the flaw which involves the way Windows renders graphics on versions of Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows Server 2003 and Windows Server 2008.

Most recent OS like Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 are not affected.
