    Microsoft has issued a warning about a bug in older version of Windows that could let attackers take over a computer.

    The vulnerability in Windows XP and Server 2003 is being actively exploited by cyber-thieves, it said.

    It has taken the unusual step of issuing a temporary workaround that closes the loophole.

    However, it acknowledged that applying this fix could break some Windows functions that people regularly use.
