Ten Security Bulletins From Microsoft

Posted by michael on from the making-america-safer dept.

wschalle writes "Microsoft has released 10 "new" security bulletins, including one pertaining to a vulnerability in the Windows Shell, apparently exploitable via the web. The shell vulnerability only allows code execution as the user viewing the malicious web site. Aren't you glad your shell is web-enabled? The recent GDI+ vulnerability is re-released here as well as a vulnerability in zip compression handling."

    Just in case anyone is wondering, SP2 is not affected by any of these vulnerabilities, except for MS04-038. That's the fix for the "drag-and-drop" vulnerability that everyone's been crowing about.

    There are a number of user-friendly configuration tools for iptables. FireStarter is the first one that comes to mind, though there are others.
