Contrary to the view that Microsoft has totally abandoned anything older than Windows XP, they’ve released new patches for the old operating systems. It’s a welcome sign that they realize that whether or not the official support for Win 9x/ME has ended, the people still running them won’t be part of the security problem simply because their OS hasn’t been patched….

Adobe releases patches for Acrobat and
Reader 06/17/2005 03:18 PM
Adobe Systems on Wednesday rolled out patches for security vulnerabilities found in Adobe Reader 7.0 and 7.0.1, and in Adobe Acrobat 7.0 and 7.0.1.

The hole in the products, referred to as an XML External Entity vulnerability, under certain circumstances allows XML scripts to be used to discover a user's local files.

According to Adobe officials, the vulnerability is within the Adobe Reader control. If an XML script is embedded in JavaScript, it is possible to discover the existence of local files, according to a security advisory from the company. An attacker could then maliciously use the gathered information. But the statement pointed out that the local files can be found only if the attacker knows the complete file names and paths in advance of such an attack.

The vulnerability impacts Acrobat and Reader running on Windows and Mac platforms.

Adobe recommends that Reader and Acrobat for Windows customers download the updates provided on the Adobe Web site here.

The company said it will release an update for the Mac OS versions shortly. Until the Mac patch is available, Adobe advises end-users to disable any Acrobat JavaScript. This should protect systems from the vulnerability.

Patches

The Problem With Monthly Security
Patches 12/09/2003 09:45 PM
So much for that plan. Back in October, we joked about Microsoft's plans to make their operating system more secure by patching it less often. The convoluted thinking was that if they spent more time on specific monthly (second Tuesday of every month) patches, they could get them right and not always be frantic about coming out with new patches all the time. Of course, there's one fatal flaw in this plan, and that's that security holes (and those who publicize and/or exploit them) don't work on a monthly schedule. So, while it's the second Tuesday of December today, there's no patch from Microsoft. They're making it sound like it's a good thing, but that ignores the few "critical" security updates that came out over the last couple months when "off-schedule" security holes were found.
