A group going by the name "Microsoft-Spurned Researcher Collective" - a play on the name of the Microsoft Security Response Center - published information last week about a vulnerability affecting Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008 that can be used to crash vulnerable machines.

"MSRC will fully disclose vulnerability information discovered in our free time, free from retaliation against us or any inferred employer."
