Hi everyone, On Friday 2/26/2010, an issue was posted publicly that could allow an attacker to host a maliciously crafted web page and run arbitrary code if they could convince a user to visit the web page and then get them to press the F1 key in response to a pop up dialog box.

Hi all, I’m Lars Opstad, an engineering manager in the MSEC Science group supporting the SDL within Microsoft. I wanted to share with you some of the ways that we are improving our internal security practices, specifically in the area of file fuzzing. Many fuzzers take a good file (template) as a starting point for creating malformed content.

小野寺です。 「MS10-015 で再起動やブルースクリーンが発生する件について」の続報を再度お伝えしま
Wednesday, February 17, 2010
Hi, We wanted to provide you with an update on our ongoing investigation into the “blue screen” issues affecting a limited number of customers who installed MS10-015. We have been working around the clock with our customers, partners and several teams at Microsoft to determine the cause of these issues. Our investigation has concluded that the reboot occurs because the system is infected with malware, specifically the Alureon rootkit.

When I was a kid, I had nightmares every week. I still remember some of them vividly, particularly the ones where ghosts were involved. Not the typical ghosts from the movies, but ones that could not be seen, only heard and felt. Why would I be so frightened and still remember them “vividly” today?

In our continuing investigation in to the restart issues related to MS10-015 that a limited number of customers are experiencing, we have determined that malware on the system can cause the behavior. We are not yet ruling out other potential causes at this time and are still investigating. Please review our blog post from yesterday for additional information.
