Today, in cooperation with Macrovision, we issued an Advisory related to a vulnerability in the Macrovision SECDRV.SYS Driver that is included with Windows XP and Windows 2003. Equally important, Macrovision also released an Advisory for this issue, which includes a security update. We recommend that customers review the Macrovision advisory before applying it.

Hi everyone, Bill Sisk here. This week we became aware of publicly disclosed exploit code being used in limited attacks on customers. This change in the threat landscape has prompted us to update last week’s Security Advisory 943521 and triggered our Software Security Incident Response Plan (SSIRP). Third party applications are currently being used as the vector for attack and customers who have applied the security updates available from these vendors are currently protected.

Hi everyone. This is Jonathan from the SWI team in the MSRC. We’ve just released Security Advisory 943521 regarding a vulnerability affecting Windows Server 2003 and Windows XP with Internet Explorer 7 installed. As you have probably noted there’s been a fair amount of discussion on this issue. One of the reasons we are releasing this Advisory is due to increased risk given recent discussions about how this vulnerability could be used in attacks.

Since this is my first post, I suppose a quick introduction is in order. I’m Bill Sisk, a member of the Security Response Communications Team. My team works to provide communications around security response issues to our customer through MSRC Blogs and other outreach vehicles. As part of that I wanted to let people know that we just posted Microsoft Security Advisory 943521, which gives additional information about a vulnerability in the way Microsoft Windows XP SP2 and Windows 2003 SP1 and SP2 handle URI’s when only Internet Explorer 7 installed.

Hi everyone. Ben from the MSRC here. I am the case manager that handled the Crystal Reports for Visual Studio Bulletin, MS07-052, and I wanted to let you know that today we updated our detection and deployment logic for that bulletin. First, I want to note that we’re not making any changes to the update itself given it protects against the vulnerability discussed in the bulletin.
