Guy Who Stole AltaVista Source Code
Working On Search At Microsoft 07/09/2004 03:28 PM
A man who was arrested last week for stealing AltaVista's source code is apparently now working on Microsoft's well publicized search technology efforts. AltaVista, of course, was the original great search engine, before it got confused and decided to "go portal" like everyone else. Apparently, this guy worked at AltaVista, but some time after he left decided he wanted to see how the product had "evolved" and discovered he could still log in to his old AltaVista account. He then downloaded the source code to his home computer. This all happened before he went to work for Microsoft, so the conspiracy theories about Microsoft stealing the code don't apply, but it does raise some questions about Microsoft's search technology.

Microsoft Security Bulletin MS03-050:
Vulnerability in Microsoft Word and
Microsoft Excel Could Allow Arbitrary
Code to Run (831527) 11/13/2003 12:36 AM
A 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.

Prior to this latest transgression, though, people were buzzing about the enhanced security features in service pack 2 (SP2) that move Windows XP closer to "secure by default." SP2 is due to be released this summer.
