Microsoft Security Advisory (927892)

Vulnerability in Microsoft XML Core Services Could Allow Remote Code Execution

Published: November 3, 2006

Microsoft is investigating public reports of a vulnerability in the XMLHTTP 4.0 ActiveX Control, part of Microsoft XML Core Services 4.0 on Windows. We are aware of limited attacks that are attempting to use the reported vulnerability.

Customers who are running Windows Server 2003 and Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1 in their default configurations, with the Enhanced Security Configuration turned on, are not affected. Customers would need to visit an attacker?s Web site to be at risk. We will continue to investigate these public reports.

I really don't see how we can include Internet Explorer 7.

Windows Media Player 11 of course is an other story, since you can install it the 'administrative way' (no fancy installer, just the usual hotfix installer). I'm not sure if Microsoft considers this to be illegal (there's no hacked/patched/whatever files involved).

Hi,

I really don't see how we can include Internet Explorer 7.

Why?

You don't need hacked or patched files for IE7 either. The IEAK for IE7 produces a perfectly good installer which seems to be working well for me. I have such an installer in my own copy of APXP and it seems to be working fine, even when the PC is offline.

To be honest there was nothing really wrong with the standard IE7 installer however I was hoping that the IEAK would allow you to skip validation but I have not had the opportunity to test this aspect as yet.

The main issue is sorting out all of the other updates included within AP for IE6 and WMP 9/10 which are longer required when you install those newer versions. There is a lot of unticking of updates when you choose to install IE7 or WMP11.

If the WMP10 and it's updates had been placed in their own section, as I suggested some time ago, it would be a lot simpler to include WMP11 now.

For the record here are the install switches I am using:

WMP11: "Module:\wmp11-windowsxp-x86-enu.exe" /q:A /c:"setup_wm.exe /Q /R:N /P:#e /DisallowSystemRestore /SetWMPAsDefault"

and

IE7: Module:\IE7-WindowsXP-x86-enu.exe /passive /update-no /norestart

If you use the IEAK version of the IE7 installer this is switch-less as the options you wish to use are included in the installer itself.

I am still working on Windows Defender and applying it's updates to this following installation requires terminating some processes before they can be applied correctly.

Kind Regards

Simon

Hi,

I am not sure how true it is but the threads I have seen on the IE7 updates elsewhere seem to be indicating that the Validation Detection modules within IE7 are being updated.

By my count we are now on the third updated release of IE7, unless something has happened in the last 24 hours or so.

Kind Regards

Simon

    • Hello, It would appear so, according to https://finance.yahoo.com/news/how-to-hide-your-home-on-google-maps-apple-maps-204146687.html. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky      
    • Hello, The Nvidia Founders Edition 3080 video card is approximately six years old, correct? Have you looked into whether replacement fans are available for it? Perhaps replacing those will improve cooling, especially when combined with cleaning the card's heatsink and replacing the thermal interface materials. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky  
    • Hello, While ~104 GB of space may seem generous (at least compared to other e-readers which have 8-32GB), I feel at this price point the device should have a Micro SDXC card slot for expansion, particularly if it allows audio books to be installed and played. I hope to see more reviews of 6" phone-sized e-readers on Neowin in the future. It will be interesting to see how they compare. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky
    • Sandboxie Plus 1.17.8 / Classic 5.72.8 by Razvan Serea Run programs in a sandbox to prevent malware from making permanent changes to your PC. Sandboxie allows you to run your browser, or any other program, so that all changes that result from the usage are kept in a sandbox environment, which can then be deleted later. Sandboxie is a sandbox-based isolation software for 32- and 64-bit Windows NT-based operating systems. It is being developed by David Xanatos since it became open source, before that it was developed by Sophos (which acquired it from Invincea, which acquired it earlier from the original author Ronen Tzur). It creates a sandbox-like isolated operating environment in which applications can be run or installed without permanently modifying the local or mapped drive. An isolated virtual environment allows controlled testing of untrusted programs and web surfing. Sandboxie is available in two flavors Plus and Classic. Both have the same core components, this means they have the same level of security and compatibility. What's different is the user interface the Plus build has a modern Qt based UI which supports all new features that have been added since the project went open source. The Classic build has the old no longer developed MFC based UI, hence it lacks support for modern features, these features can however still be used when manually configured in the Sandboxie.ini. Sandboxie Plus 1.17.8 / Classic 5.72.8 release notes: Added added DisableCustomTitleOpt=[process,][y|n] to allow [#] sandboxie title markers on custom-titlebar windows (Delphi VCL, Qt, Electron) that were previously skipped to prevent DWM repaint CPU loops #5387 Changed updated bundled ImDisk driver to 3.0.2 #5419 Fixed fix Suppress logs for expected non-user SIDs #5422 SbieSvc.exe: SBIE2218/2219 error when run program as administrator #5417 fixed explorer.exe crashes in Application Compartment when Huorong Security is installed #5423 Download: Sandboxie Plus (64-bit) | 23.5 MB (Open Source) Download: Sandboxie Classic (64-bit) | 3.0 MB Links: Sandboxie Website | GitHub | ARM64 | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
    • Hello, Christian Maas' XVI32 is a nice (and very small) hex editor. Speaking of hex editors, many years ago a colleague and I who both worked at Tribal Voice managed to edit a copy of the company's PowWow instant messaging client to make it behave better now that all of its lookup servers and other server-side tech was gone.  The program didn't support NAT (RFC-3022 was introduced in January 2001, the same time Tribal Voice was shuttered), but it still worked okay if you manually set up port-forwarding on your router.  The server at http://powwow.jazy.net/ hosts a copy (usual warnings about downloading and running untrusted code from random internet servers apply). I occasionally use some tools like Funduc Software's Search and Replace and Application Mover when I need to make mass-edits to text-based files or move programs with a hard-coded installation directories, respectively.  When I need to figure out the exact LCD panel inside of a laptop, EnTech Taiwan's Monitor Asset Manager is my go-to tool for that purpose. JD Design's website (now hosted on github.io) has a number of interesting freeware and shareware utilities.  I used to use their TouchPro utility to set the file timestamps on software I was mastering to match its version number (e.g., version 3.00 of a program had all of its files dates set to 3:00AM, and so forth). Karenware has a number of interesting freeware utilities, too. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky
