This week we examine Chrome's third zero-day of the year, followed by Microsoft's massive 128-patch fest last week, and we note that we don't even bother counting Windows zero-days, though there were another two this month amid the 47 critical vulnerabilities that were patched, one of them being so worrisome that it captured this week's podcast title, which we'll cover at length before we conclude. We also have more WordPress add-on trouble, the return of a longstanding problem in Apache Struts, and we have some interesting commentary about the current hackability status of the United States nuclear arsenal. I want to share a bit of closing-the-loop feedback with our listeners and give everyone a snapshot into the recent work on SpinRite. Then we're going to take a close look at the one flaw, out of 128 that Microsoft patched last week, that truly has the entire security industry on pins and needles because it enables a zero-click Internet worm.
