Hello. Today we released Security Advisory 983438, addressing a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in SharePoint Server 2007 and SharePoint Services 3.0 that could allow Elevation of Privilege (EoP) within the SharePoint site itself. Servers are at reduced risk from Internet Explorer 8 clients, as the Internet Explorer 8 XSS filter helps to mitigate the issue in the internet zone.

Hi everyone – I’m Carlene Chmaj, new to the Security Response team and here to tell you that the re-release of MS10-025 is available. Again, this only affects those with Windows 2000 Servers in a non-default configuration with Windows Media Services installed. All customers with this configurartion are advised to install this re-released update.

I wanted to give customers an update on the status of MS10-025. First, I want to reiterate that this issue affects only Windows 2000 Servers in a non-default configuration: Windows Media Services needs to be installed. Customers who do not have Windows Media Services installed are not affected and were not offered this update.

Hi, MS10-025 is a security update that only affects Windows 2000 Server customers who have installed Windows Media Services (this is a non-default configuration). Today we pulled the update because we found it does not address the underlying issue effectively. We are not aware of any active attacks seeking to exploit this issue and are targeting a re-release of the update for next week.

The XSS Filter related Blackhat EU presentation discussed a vulnerability that was previously disclosed and addressed in the January security update to Internet Explorer (MS10-002). This attack scenario involved modified HTTP responses, enabling XSS on sites that would not otherwise be vulnerable. An additional update to the IE XSS Filter is currently scheduled for release in June.
