The first Elonex One was an oddly-configured little beast, with the guts of the machine tucked behind the display for an unwieldy, top-heavy look that was only acceptable given the £100 ($199) pricetag and pseudo-tablet functionality it offered. That doesn’t mean Elonex is…

A number of consumers running Check Point's ZoneAlarm security software on Windows XP lost Internet connectivity Tuesday night after Microsoft released a patch for a potentially dangerous DNS flaw.

The problem only affected ZoneAlarm customers who had their security settings on "high," according to a Check Point spokeswoman. Those with "medium" or "low" settings did not lose Internet service.

Check Point offered two possible solutions, including temporarily uninstalling the patch or setting firewall setting to "medium." Check Point said it will soon issue a ZoneAlarm update with a permanent solution. The company also posted a more detailed workaround online.

Microsoft released the update, known as KB951748, after Dan Kaminsky of IOActive and Paul Vixie of Internet Systems Consortium notified the Computer Emergency Readiness Team (US-CERT) of a basic flaw in the DNS standard that could lead to cache poisoning, and allows attackers to redirect Internet requests to wherever they want, including sites that engage in phishing or malware distribution.

In addition to Microsoft, the list of Internet system vendors affected by the flaw includes Apple, AT&T, Cisco, D-Link, IBM, and Intel.
