Security Experts to Microsoft: SP2 Has
Critical Flaws

Security Experts to Microsoft: SP2 Has
Critical Flaws 08/20/2004 06:23 AM
German Internet security experts Heise Security have discovered what it calls two "flaws" in Service Pack 2. Microsoft has said its Service Pack 2 offers users the latest security "innovations," but Internet security experts said hackers could exploit cracks in SP2 defences to exploit a user's computer.

According to Heise Security, "Computer hackers could evade SP2's new security features and infect a computer that uses Windows with a virus or a worm." Heise further explains that Windows also does not source information properly if files are overwritten so that it can "be tricked to execute files from the Internet" without sparking a warning, even if users install the new SP2 update.

A Microsoft spokesperson addressed the warning by saying, "Microsoft has investigated these reports and is not aware of any instance in which an attacker could specifically bypass the service in email or a Web browser to allow a malicious attacker access to a user's system. We continue to encourage customers to review and install Windows XP SP2."

Microsoft To Test MSN Messenger 7
Security 03/29/2005 06:33 AM
Microsoft is planning to block all hotlinks, Winks and Dynamic Display Pictures from being sent or received for a testing period starting today until Thursday 31st.

An MSN spokesperson creditted the additional testing to the recent virus attacks which attempted to use MSN Messenger as a way to spread harmful code. Over the 48 hour testing the period the MSN Messenger team will be testing different methods of blocking malicious code from being transferred on MSN Messenger.

The testing will only effect users using MSN Messenger 7 build 732 and any public builds are likely to be unaffected. Initially the MSN Messenger 7 beta was halted when users discovered a fatal flaw in the implementation of the new Winks feature.

MSN Messenger 7 is expected to be released in the coming months.
