Microsoft Security Bulletin MS03-050:
Vulnerability in Microsoft Word and
Microsoft Excel Could Allow Arbitrary
Code to Run (831527)
11/13/2003 12:36 AMA security vulnerability exists in Microsoft Word that could allow
malicious code execution. This vulnerability exists due to to the way
Word checks the length of a data value (Macro names) embedded in a
document. If a specially crafted document were to be opened it could
overflow a data value in Word and allow arbitrary code to be executed.
If successfully exploited, an attacker could then take the same
actions as the user had permissions to carry out, such as adding,
changing or deleting data or files, communicating with a web site or
formatting the hard drive.

IEEE 802.11 Wireless LAN Security with
Microsoft Windows XP
06/28/2004 11:14 PMAlthough wireless LAN networks provide freedom of movement, they also
require you to address security issues that are not as prevalent on a
private cabling system for a wired LAN technology such as Ethernet.
The main security issues are the authentication of wireless clients
and the encryption and data integrity of wireless LAN frames. This
article discusses the security issues of IEEE 802.11 wireless networks
and shows how the Microsoft Windows XP operating system can be used to
make 802.11 wireless networks as secure as the current set of
802.11-related technologies allow.

Microsoft Baseline Security Analyzer &
Windows XP SP2
09/02/2004 12:15 PMMicrosoft Corporation reports that users who have installed the
Windows XP Service Pack 2 (WinXPSP2) and wish to use the popular
Microsoft Security Baseline Analyzer (MSBA) must update the security
application due to changes in the way the new operating system handles
security.
Use of MSBA is a security best practice that helps both corporate
system administrators and individual consumers assess the
vulnerability of individual workstations and home computers. MSBA
offers specific guidance and suggestions to tighten the security of
the Microsoft operating system and applications.
The new release of MSBA, version 1.2.1, includes a graphical and
command line interface that can perform local or remote scans of
Windows systems. MSBA is a free tool.
MSBA enables users of Windows 2000, XP, and Server 2003 to:
-scan for common system misconfigurations in their operating system
and Internet Information Server (IIS), SQL Server, Internet Explorer
(IE), and the Office application suite.
-scan for missing security updates in their operating system and
IIS, SQL Server, IE, Office, Exchange Server, Windows Media Player,
Microsoft Data Access Components (MDAC), MSXML, Microsoft Virtual
Machine, Commerce Server, Content Management Server, BizTalk Server,
and Host Integration Server.
Windows XP Service Pack 2
Users of the Windows XP operating system who have not yet installed
Service Pack 2 may download the free update from Microsoft's website
or through the Microsoft Automatic Updates security download process.
Dave's Opinion
I've been a fan of Microsoft Security Baseline Analyzer since it was
first released. I use it to ensure the security of our Windows
workstations and servers. It works well both on single machines and
our networks. I strongly recommend that all Windows users improve
their computer systems' security with Microsoft Security Baseline
Analyzer. It's an easy way to tighten the most common holes in
Windows' security.
