02.26.2003 - MS03-006: Flaw in Windows Me Help and Support Center Could Enable Code Execution (812709)



View Microsoft related news. An attacker could exploit the vulnerability by constructing a URL that, when clicked on by the user, would execute code of the attacker’s choice in the Local Computer security context. The URL could be hosted on a web page, or sent directly to the user in email. In the web based scenario, where a user then clicked on the URL hosted on a website, an attacker could have the ability to read or launch files already present on the local machine. In the case of an e-mail borne attack, if the user was using Outlook Express 6.0 or Outlook 2002 in their default configurations, or Outlook 98 or 2000 in conjunction with the Outlook Email Security Update, then an attack could not be automated and the user would still need to click on a URL sent in e-mail. However if the user was not using Outlook Express 6.0 or Outlook 2002 in their default configurations, or Outlook 98 or 2000 in conjunction with the Outlook Email Security Update, the attacker could cause an attack to trigger automatically without the user having to click on a URL contained in an e-mail.

02.07.2003 - MS02-071: Flaw in Windows WM_TIMER Message Handling Can Enable Privilege Elevation (328310) - Updated



View Microsoft related news. Windows messages provide a way for interactive processes to react to user events (such as keystrokes or mouse movements) and communicate with other interactive processes. The WM_TIMER message is sent at the expiration of a timer, and it can be used to cause a process to run a timer callback function. This message may create a security vulnerability because it is possible for one process in the interactive desktop to use a WM_TIMER message to cause another process to run a callback function at the address of its choice, even if the second process did not set a timer. If that second process has higher privileges than the first process, this would provide the first process with a way of exercising the functions.

01.22.2003 - MS03-002 : Cumulative Patch for Microsoft Content Management Server 2001 (810487)



View Microsoft related news. A cross-site scripting flaw exists in one of these ASP pages. The flaw can permit an attacker to insert script in the data that is being sent to an MCMS server. Because the server generates a Web page in response to a user request that is made by using this page, the script may be embedded in the page that MCMS generates and returns to the user. If this occurs, the script may then be run when it is processed by the user’s browser. Because of this, attacker may be able to access information that the user shared with the legitimate site.
