Exploitable MS FrontPage Apache Installs

Posted by krow on from the slow-to-release-quick-to-exploit dept.

A reader writes:"On NewsForge, there is an interview with a system administrator looking for an officially supported FrontPage install for RedHat Linux Apache rpm to fix CERT Advisory CA-2002-17 , which has already found in the wild. According to the interview Microsoft may, at some point, release an official patch or upgrade which Apache, RedHat and others fixed long ago."

  1. Is this really surprising... by quasi_steller · · Score: 2, Insightful

    ...I mean really. Microsoft is late on writing a patch for FrontPage to communicate with the Apache web server.

    Microsoft Employee #1: "Hum do you think we should write the patch yet?"
    Microsoft Employee #2: "Nah, there is no real reason to."

    ...interesting if true.

    This shows me one thing (sure this might get modded down)-- Microsoft is clearly not serious about their "Trustworthy Computing" initiative. If so, this should have been fixed a LONG time ago...

    Oh wait-- that only applies to Microsoft operating systems?
