More XP SP2 Vulnerabilities
« on: January 07, 2005, 09:00:55 am »
There's been a lot of ways found to run arbitrary code from remotely in Internet Explorer lately, even with fully patched SP2.  This is one of them:
http://secunia.com/advisories/12889/

My point is, stop using IE if you are :)

From Secunia, some stats:
Quote
Vendor: Microsoft
Product Affected By: 75 Secunia Advisories


Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 with all vendor patches installed and all vendor workarounds applied, is currently affected by one or more Secunia advisories rated Extremely critical

This is based on the most severe Secunia advisory, which is marked as "Unpatched" in the Secunia database. Go to Unpatched/Patched list below for details.

Currently, 21 out of 75 Secunia advisories, is marked as "Unpatched" in the Secunia database.

My point is, most will never change, they're afraid of it, thus they depend on M$ for all of their needs.

I'd bet that you're currently bloated like a water ballon on a hot summer's day.

That analogy doesn't even make sense.  Why would a water balloon be especially bloated on a hot summer's day? For your sake, I hope there wasn't too much logic testing on your LSAT.

I hate SP2 soo much.  Computers shouldn't even need a personal firewall.  All a firewall is is a coverup for lousy programming.  If a vulnerability is found in a service, it should be disabled.  It's unfortunate that, on Windows, you can't.

Apparnetly the product has 2 nice features:
1. It listens on port 2571 (which I would imagine goes through SP2's firewall, since it's MS)
2. Its icon is a big target

Gee, I wonder what's coming? :)

Stay tuned for the first annual Anti-Spyware Worm!

Then, we will have the evil jpg of doom, which will give you a virus just by looking at a jpg file while on Windows.

I'm just waiting for Spyware that uses Microsoft's Anti-Spyware program to propogate.  If that happens, I'm going to laugh soooo hard.

You should make one, then laugh your ass off.  Not a malicious one even, actually, make it like the Polite Virus and have it ask the user if they want to allow the worm to spread around a little :)

I'm surprised a vulnerability has been finally found where the only immune Windows system is SP2, usually it's the other way around ;)

There were lots of those.  Jpeg vulnerabliity, several IE vulnerabilities, and others.  SP2 is doing pretty well, still and has only had a few vulns :)
