sOny, the company that is off late providing lots of patches for its holes(products) has released yet another patch for a security vulnerability that exists in SunnComm's MediaMax Version 5 software which is embedded in Sony's BMG music CD's. This controversial software which Sony sneaked into the CD's to prevent users from making copies has recently got the company into lots of trouble.
Thomas Hesse, a man within Sony who, just weeks ago commented on the SonyBMG DRM problems as 'Most people don't even know what a rootkit is, so why should they care about it?' now states, 'We're grateful to EFF and iSEC for bringing this to our attention. We believe that the availability of the update coupled with our campaign to notify customers will appropriately address the CDs with MediaMax Version 5 in the market.'
