    - gdiplus.dll security question Am I correct in assuming that jpg's which have the potentially threatening code will only be a threat if opened/viewed by a program that has a gdiplus.dll? I find only 4 instances of gdiplus.dll on my system, all of which are version 5.3xxx.xx. In a previous posted question I was assured that these were safe. Can I now assume that other jpg handling applications are safe? That the only danger is from older gdiplus.dlls? Thanks Tag: Passwords Tag: 61478

    - GdiPlus (GDI+) JPEG Vulnerability - patching Two questions about the GDIPlus (GDI+) JPEG Vulnerability: 1. I'm running Windows 2K and Office XP. I ran Windows Update (which updated the .NET frameworks) and the Office Update (which installed some updates) and then as prompted by Microsoft's vulnerability tool, I ran GDIPLUS_6.exe to patch Microsoft Picture It! 20002. Now when I scan the system for gdiplus.dll, I find that none of them have recent dates. Is this ok? 2. I noticed that my Visual FoxPro directory contains a gdiplus.dll file, but Visual FoxPro is not on the Microsoft list either of vunerable, or not vulnerable products. Is there a needed GDIPlus patch for Visual FoxPro? Thanks, Kevin Tag: Passwords Tag: 61471

    - security concerns about email with digital certificate By now in my personal opinion using web-based mail with IE is more secure than using OUTLOOK or Outlook Express. Although we can use outlook or OE to send and receive secure email with digital signature, there is potential insecurity after I download my emails to my computer-- that is my computer could be hacked.... But when I use web-based email, I can hardly send encrypted email to others... What a headache. Tag: Passwords Tag: 61463

Then I went to Symantec and run their security checker http://security.symantec.com/default.asp?productid=symhome&langid=ie&venid=sym It tells me that it is open to acker exposures: - ICMP ping --> Open (In the advanced tab, of my firewall for ICMP, this is not allowed???) - 135 Location Service (loc-srv) --> Open - 139 NetBios --> Closed - 445 WindowNT/2000 SMB --> Open I tried to look at the docs (...not sure where to find a good one) to see if I can close/hidde these ports --> but did not find any... Could someone tell me if it is possible to close these ports and how to amend the setting so as to be as safe as possible with the integrated firewall. Thanks, José Tag: Passwords Tag: 61461

    - Endless Buffer Overruns I see yet another update (JPEG) involving the same type of ongoing buffer overrun vulnerability. Could someone please help me understand why this situation has not been corrected? I'm approaching this from a programmer point of view. I have made mistakes and overlooked errors in my code. However, when I am made aware of a type of error, I go back and fix ALL of those types of errors. At least as many as I know about. Why doesn't Microsoft? If they don't know about all the buffer overrun areas, shouldn't they have a team that verifies the code? Maybe I don't understand what buffer overrun is/does. I would think it is when some programmer makes a mistake in address pointers and his program writes outside of allocated memory. Since this is a big (there's endless updates on such) and repeating security issue, why not at the very minimum check, double check, and triple check all areas where there could even be a potential of buffer overrun? Or, even better, design the system so that programs cannot even possibly write outside of their allocated memory? Or, if there is some reason that's necessary under such-and-such circumstances, I would think Microsoft's programs shouldn't do that and therefore should have a flag that prohibits them from writing outside allocated memory. Maybe someone can explain why this is an ongoing issue that cannot be corrected, but otherwise I see no excuse for it. Duane Tag: Passwords Tag: 61435

Step 4 - Update Developer Tools took me to a page where I could do a Security Update for IE 6 SP1 (KB833989), which I did. In a columned box below Step 4, there are update numbers for various programs. For IE6 SP1, the Update # is 830348. I don't have the latter update in my add/remove programs.

    - MS04-028 Clarification needed Hi, I need a clarification concerning the affected products. If the following is true: Affected are all products that use Gdiplus.dll prior to version 5.1.3102.1355, Mso.dll prior to version 10.0.6714.0 or Vgx.dll prior to version 6.0.2800.1411. Then IE 5 is affected too, in contradiction to the bulletin. I used my SMS software inventory and found vgx.dll version 5.00.3014.1003 on the IE 5 systems. I found a gdiplus.dll version 5.1.3102.1229 in a Microsoft Works folder. Does that mean Works must be patched, too? What I'd need is a clear statement as to which dlls are affected in which versions.

    - accessing user files without logging in I have had problems with WinXP home, so I upgraded to WinXP pro. For fear it would delete my files, I created a new folder for pro to be installed in (same drive). Pro works fine. However, home doesn't work at all. My files are in my old home user account that has a password to logon. When I try to open the folder of my home user account files all it says is that I don't have access rights-it doesn't even give me a prompt for the password. If there was no password I would be able to access it (i.e.:all my files are still there). If I could merely enter the password when trying to open the folder, that would very nice. Also, if many of you are 100% sure it won't delete my files in an upgrade I might take that path instead. Thank you, ninjascyther@juno.com Tag: Passwords Tag: 61392

    - XP SP2 IE6 vulnerability Background information ====================== Windows XP Service Pack 2 has introduced new features that improve browsing security in Internet Explorer. Most of them are additional messages that force the user to validate everything that is done by the browser. Most of these messages are displayed in the new Information Bar. For example if you try to open a web page that contains Javascript code or ActiveX objects, it is likely that they will be blocked, the Information Bar will appear and offer you to reload the page with the untrustworthy components enabled. More information can be found at: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/winxppro/maintain/sp2brows.mspx The side effect of these features is that some web sites can't be used as easily as before because the user has to respond to an increasing number of notifications and questions. Vulnerability Explained ======================= As an example I created a simple XHTML document containing MathML and installed the MathPlayer ActiveX plugin from DesignScience (http://www.dessci.com/en). This type of document used to render correctly in IE6 but since SP2 was installed the new features interfere with the loading of the component : the page is first loaded without MathPlayer which has to be enabled via the Information Bar. But there seems to be a vulnerability in Internet Explorer that allows this protection to be bypassed. All that needs to be done is to add a fake comment between the DOCTYPE declaration and the <html> tag that mimics those added by IE when a page is saved to disk. The "fake" comments must be formatted as follows :  where URL is to be replaced by an URL (for instance http://www.example.com/) and XXXX by a 4 digit integer that represents the number of characters in the URL (for instance 0023). System Affected =============== Windows XP Pro and Home editions with SP2 IE 6.0 (SP2) How to reproduce ================ Install the plugin from DesignScience. Paste the following text in a file with an .xml extension. Open it with IE with and without the comment on line 4. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1 plus MathML 2.0//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/MathML2/dtd/xhtml-math11-f.dtd">  <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <HEAD> <TITLE>IE Vulnerability example</TITLE> <BODY> <math displaystyle="true" xmlns="&mathml;"> <mfrac> <mn>27</mn> <mn>12</mn> </mfrac> </math> </BODY></HTML> Remarks ======= This also works with pages containing Javascript code. -- Cyrille SZYMANSKI Tag: Passwords Tag: 61367

    - My MS04-028 FAQ The instructional text in this latest MS04-028 Security Bulletin seems totally ridiculous for anyone trying to effect patch management on more than 3 PC's. Their FAQ is just blowing me away. I'm not sure whether to laugh or to cry. Here's my FAQ. Let's see them answer THESE! Feel free to play along and either answer or add to the list. It won't likely accomplish much, but it will be more fun (and probably more productive) than sitting in a meeting with a bunch of other confused IT's trying to figure out "how to deploy this one." 1. Are you *%^ing kidding me! OK, I just had to get that out. Moving on... 2. What is this "vulnerable component"? "Windows XP, Window XP Service Pack 1, and Windows Server 2003 are the only operating systems that contain the *vulnerable component* by default. By default, Windows 98, Windows 98 SE, Windows Me, Windows NT 4.0, and Windows 2000 are not. However, the *vulnerable component* will be installed by any of the programs listed in the affected software section of this bulletin on these operating systems and you should install the appropriate security update for those programs." 3. Is it "GDI+"? (Then say so!) 4. If it is GDI+ and Windows is such a shared resource OS, why can't the GDI+ component be patched at the OS level without requiring a patch for each individual app? 5. "Typically, when these programs are installed on Windows XP, Windows XP Service Pack 1, or Windows Server 2003 they only use the version that is provided by the operating system, even if they install a copy of the vulnerable component." Oh, really? (Trying to find a nice way of asking #1 again.) 6. Can the "vulnerable component" be removed/uninstalled? 7. Would removing it disable viewing/using JPEG files and/or disable some other desired functionality? 8. Would removing the .Net Framework help the situation? 9. Does this prove my original fears that installing the .Net Framework is merely an act of inviting *yet another MS security nightmare*? 10. If the recent .Net Framework 1.0 & 1.1 SP's contained such critical patches as this one, why didn't MS issue a Security Bulletin for them? 11. Why DOESN'T the "GDI+ Detection Tool" do all the things that MS tells us it doesn't do? (Basically: why doesn't it detect ALL affected sw AND tell us whether that sw is patched?) 12. If the existing GDI+ detector says I'm clean, and then I install something vulnerable, am I "SOL"? Will the detector say, "I've already run," and ignore my new app? 13. Can MS provide us with a detector that works? 14. Will someone else make one that works? 15. If so, can we buy *their* OS and/or sw? 16. Does this vulnerability affect only MS sw? 17. Are any other sw companies saying, going to say, or have they already said anything about this vulnerability in regards to their sw? 18. If so, is it only because they're using MS SDK's to write their sw? 19. Is it time to jump the MS ship? 20. How many more MS apps are going to get their own patches for this same vulnerability a month or two down the road? 21. How many vulnerable apps won't get patches because MS doesn't "support" them anymore? (implies they "supported" these apps previously) 22. Should I simply use the GDI Detection Tool to find the vulnerable apps and just remove those apps rather than wait for a follow-up patch that "fixes" the same vulnerability and/or a totally new and scarier one? 23. Which Linux distro should I start with if I'm a newbie to it, but have been in IT for 15+ years? 24. How do I know what hardware to put this Linux distro with if I'm building a new system? 25. How do I build a completely MS-free, Linux-based system that even my technophobe wife (who may freak if it doesn't look exactly like our old MS system) can use? 26. Is Linux any better, since I'll have to depend on several distros and/or word of mouth to get bug/security fixes for it, as opposed to one company like MS? 27. Last but far from least, the associated WindowsUpdate entry for MS04-028 doesn't update anything. So, why is it listed as a Critical Update? Tag: Passwords Tag: 61343

    - HOWTO: Enable/Disable USB interface and/or USB storage devices using Group Policy in Windows XP Hello from Istanbul/Turkey, In Windows 2000 or 2003 Active Directory and Windows XP workstation environment, you can enable or disable all the USB interface or just USB storage devices using group policy. Just follow: 1. Create a custom adm file, you can name it usb.adm with the following content: ; Beginning of the file ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; CLASS MACHINE ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; CATEGORY !!USB POLICY !!REstrictUSB KEYNAME "System\CurrentControlSet\Services\usbuhci" PART !!RestrictionValue NUMERIC VALUENAME Start END PART END POLICY POLICY !!REstrictUSBStorage KEYNAME "System\CurrentControlSet\Services\USBSTOR" PART !!RestrictionValueStorage NUMERIC VALUENAME Start END PART END POLICY END CATEGORY #endif [strings] USB="Restrict USB Access" RestrictUSB="USB Interface Restriction" RestrictionValue="Enter 4 to restrict USB interface, 3 to enable" RestrictUSBStorage="USB Storage Restriction" RestrictionValueStorage="Enter 4 to restrict USB storage, 3 to enable" ; End of the file 2. Put this file in C:\Windows\Inf in one of your Domain Controllers (DC). 3. On this DC, run AD Users and Computers, select the Organizational Unit (OU) you want to enable or disable USB. Open Group Policy (GP) for this OU. 4. Select Administrative Templates under Computer Configuration. Right click and select Add/Remove Templates, click add and select usb.adm and click open, then close Add Remove Templates window. 5. Now you can see "Restrict USB Access" category under Administrative Templates. To see its contents, you should click Administrative Templates and on View menu clik Filtering. Clear "Only show policy settings that can be fully manages" option. Click OK. 6. Click Restrict USB Access. There are two policies here, USB Interface Restriction (UIR) and USB Storage Restriction (USR). 7. If you want to fully enable full USB, enable two of the policies and enter the value of 3. If you want to enable USB interface but disable USB storages, enter 3 for UIR, 4 for USR. If you want to disable USB all, enter 4 for both values. PS: Because this registry setting is considered as a preference, even if you remove the policy, the setting remains there. So you should enable this settings in all your organizational units. I've tried this in Windows 2003 and Windows XP environments and saw it works. I didn't try in Windows 2000, but i guess it works there too. I hope this helps you too. Tag: Passwords Tag: 61325

If the person whom I will send email to holds a certificate which didn't come from the CA wich issueed mine, Can I send him a secured email? If my OS is hacked by someone, Is my certificate secure( because the secure level I set is medium without passwords)? Thank you very much. Tag: Passwords Tag: 61320

    - Confused about latest patches I read on microsoft.com/technet about (critical update) "Buffer Overrun in JPEG Processing (GDI+) Could Allow Code Execution (833987)" and (important update) "Vulnerability in WordPerfect Converter Could Allow Code Execution (884933)". If I visit Microsoft Office Downloads Home Page (http://office.microsoft.com/en- us/officeupdate/default.aspx) and also www.windowsupdate.com, will these two sites tell me if I need to install these two updates? I have Windows 2000 (not XP) but I do have Office XP. Why won't office.microsoft.com (updates) or windowsupdate.com tell me? Do I have to read down the list of affected software and update manually. So confused, Jimmy Tag: Passwords Tag: 61291

Some add ons I can't enable since a message says this is under the control of the administrator. Can anybody help me solve this problem. Thanks. Malcolm Tag: Passwords Tag: 61284
