MUG Resource Center featuring the hottest Macintosh links from the computer community Resource Manager Microsoft Security Announcement According to the Microsoft Security Announcement, the latest version of security update, the "29 Mar 2002 Cumulative Patch" update which eliminates all known security vulnerabilities affecting Internet Explorer and MS Outlook/Express as well as six new vulnerabilities, and is discussed in Microsoft Security Bulletin MS02-005. Install now to protect your computer from these vulnerabilities, the most serious of which could allow an attacker to run code on your computer. Description of several well-know vulnerabilities: - "Incorrect MIME Header Can Cause IE to Execute E-mail Attachment" vulnerability. If a malicious user sends an affected HTML e-mail or hosts an affected e-mail on a Web site, and a user opens the e-mail or visits the Web site, Internet Explorer automatically runs the executable on the user's computer. - A vulnerability that could allow an unauthorized user to learn the location of cached content on your computer. This could enable the unauthorized user to launch compiled HTML Help (.chm) files that contain shortcuts to executables, thereby enabling the unauthorized user to run the executables on your computer. - A new variant of the "Frame Domain Verification" vulnerability could enable a malicious Web site operator to open two browser windows, one in the Web site's domain and the other on your local file system, and to pass information from your computer to the Web site. - CLSID extension vulnerability. Attachments which end with a CLSID file extension do not show the actual full extension of the file when saved and viewed with Windows Explorer. This allows dangerous file types to look as though they are simple, harmless files - such as JPG or WAV files - that do not need to be blocked. System requirements: Versions of Windows no earlier than Windows 95. This update applies to: Versions of Internet Explorer no earlier than 4.01 Versions of MS Outlook no earlier than 8.00 Versions of MS Outlook Express no earlier than 4.01 For more information about these issues, read Microsoft Security Bulletin MS02-005, or Microsoft Critical Downloads If you have some questions about this article contact us at rdquest12@microsoft.com Notes: Look for the Resource Manager's ranking system... when you see red "stars" in a listing you know it's a top-gun site! (***** Five stars is the highest rank!) * Reader submitted links!Yes, we invite you to supply us with your favorite Macintosh support web sites... show us one we haven't seen and you might just win books, posters, T-shirts or other great prizes from the MUG Resource Center. From any page, just click the " Add A Link" button! * Warning: to surf faster, you may want to turn off the graphics in your browser. Many of these have heavy duty screen-spam and intense graphics. Always be careful where you leave your email address. While the User Group Network practices safe computing with the highest degree of security, we cannot be responsible for spam, stalkers, preditors and other evil stuff you'll run into at some of these sites. Particularly bad spam sites have been removed. We strive to provide you with the best stuff we can find. Some links are UGN Supporter links and will guarantee the very best experience for your time. * Report Broken Links: as is with the web, people change email addresses, pages, ISPs, and domains as often as they change their pants -- and think nothing of it. So, you may run into some broken links along the way. We check Resource Manager each month through the NetMechanic.com. But there may be some you'll catch before we do. Back to the top ...
