    - SUS - Missing KB873374 (GDI+ Detection Tool)?? We use the latest version of SUS. I approved the KB873374 update yesterday. I was receiving many complaints from users about the dialog ("The software tool did not detect any Microsoft Office, Microsoft Picture It!, or Microsoft .NET framework software on your computer that is vulnerable to the GDI+ Graphics Component security vulnerability") so I went into SUS to unapprove it. Unfortunately I cannot find the update listed anywhere! Has anyone else had this problem? Tag: identifying antivirus in security center Tag: 61410

    - 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. Thank you Henrik Zawischa Tag: identifying antivirus in security center Tag: 61403

    - 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: identifying antivirus in security center Tag: 61392

    - Friend logging onto my comp I have a roomate who continually logs onto my comp. He doesn't know my passwords (at least I don't think he does). I saw him starting it under safe mode once, then when I returned to the room I opened the laptop to find out that he had somehow managed to log into my account. Please help me block this opening and stop this from happening again. Thanks. Sean Tag: identifying antivirus in security center Tag: 61390

    - Forced autodownload reboots - NOT LEGAL! This is a very unhappy IT consultant, who has had several Servers I am responsible for have a forced reboot of them occur at 3:00am after downloading a security update. the following is from the EVENT VIEWER: Restart Required: To complete the installation of the following updates, the computer will be restarted within five minutes. Until this computer has been restarted, Windows cannot search for or download new updates. - Security Update for Windows Server 2003 (KB833987) For more information, see Help and Support Center at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp. I am dismayed at the apparent lack of concern for sites operating 24/7 and forcing a reboot of critical server systems after an autodownload! I got paged by two sites in the middle of the night wanting to know why their Servers just crashed! These reboots should ONLY be done after fair warning and be planned. When has this policy changed? -it cost one of my engineering sites a huge loss in productivity and $$$ due to steel pattern cutting robot control files having to be reloaded! NOT HAPPY! This shouldnt be allowed to happen! Tag: identifying antivirus in security center Tag: 61372

    - 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: identifying antivirus in security center 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: identifying antivirus in security center 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.

Apparently it's snagged one of our Domain Admin credentials, and it's spreading like mad cow disease in the UK. :) Thanks in advance. Tag: identifying antivirus in security center Tag: 61264

    - Monitoring machine usage Hi, Part of the great Sarbanes Oxley audit requires that we monitor our third party application providor when they are in the program changing stuff. They usually dial in and then run the program as a terminal service client. My requirements are to capture everything they do. Is this possible? Any products out there? HELP!!!!

    - Scheduled backups password probs I have yet to successfully run a scheduled M/S backup due to password problems. M/S help suggests running under administrator, this failed also. Why the hell do we need passwords just to run backups? Surely backups take priority over security, it certainly does in the real computer world.

    - CAPICOM Win98SE I have a simple VB application to load a *.pfx file into localMachine certificate store using the CAPICOM api. It seems to work fine on Windows XP, however when I try and run it on Win98SE. I get an error on the load method "Incorrect Parameter" I have tried different combinations but they all seem to fail in the same way. The Load works fine to CurrentUser,My store on Win98. It doesn't seem to like importing to localMachine,root on win98? Dim st As New Store Dim storeLocation As CAPICOM_STORE_LOCATION Dim storeName As String Dim fileName As String storeName = "Root" storeLocation = CAPICOM_LOCAL_MACHINE_STORE fileName = "certname.pfx" st.Open storeLocation, storeName, CAPICOM_STORE_OPEN_READ_WRITE st.Load fileName, "password", CAPICOM_KEY_STORAGE_DEFAULT Any ideas are much appreciated.

    - strange files on my computer I was advised to delete anything unusual from c:/documents and settings/owner/local settings/temp. Whenever I try to do this, there is a file that I cannot delete because the system says someone else is using it. The file name first was 1376.fdr. At the time, I was not signed on to the internet, and I didn't even have the telephone line plugged in. This morning, I had the same problem with fdr1416.fdr. What is worse, I went to delete the cookies on temporary internet files, and when I came back to look at the temp folder, there was a file called ~df434c.tmp there, and I cannot delete that either. Since I was not signed on to the internet then and did not have my computer plugged in to the internet, either, and I have disabled the wireless zero configuration on msconfig. It seems to me that there is no way this could happen unless someone is on my computer when I am. I run adaware every day, and also have spywareblaster running. I have installed security pack 2. What next? Tag: identifying antivirus in security center Tag: 61221

Hi

I think Norton 2005 have a tamper proof setting as default, and this
cases the Security Center to not detect NAV 2005.

Symantec Security Alert appears after running LiveUpdate or installing
XP Service Pack 2
