About Several Vulnerabilities of Thunderbird

Sunday, 30. March 2008, 14:24:37

, ,

Mozilla released the latest version(2.0.0.13) which pluged 10 security holes of Firefox.
However, Mozilla has not released the fixed version of Thunderbird(E-Mail cleiant of Mozilla).
It shares five of the vulunerabilityies because Thunderbird shares the browser engine with Firefox. And It could be vulnerable if JavaScript were to be enabled in mail.
Mozilla's David Ascher said that its paches will not be available for several weeks.
And he also said "This is not the default setting, and we strongly discourage users from running JavaScript in mail."

Trick For Your Desktop Icon

Saturday, 5. January 2008, 00:41:22

, ,

If you are Windows XP user and your desktop is covered with a lot of icons, you can try a tiny program which turn all those icons into a list.
Download and extract the "zip" file, and then double-click on deskview.exe, and your icons will turn from this:

To bring them back to regular mode, just double-click on deskview.exe again.

[NOTE]


You can also put deskview.exe in your Startup folder, or you can put a link to deskview.exe in your Startup folder if you’d prefer. Deskview doesn’t remember your settings, so if you set it up and reboot your computer (or if explorer.exe crashes) you’ll need to double-click on deskview.exe and re-organize your desktop icons again.

Kaspersky Quarantines WindowsExplorer As A Virus

Tuesday, 25. December 2007, 12:16:39

, , ,


A faulty signature update from Kaspersky Lab on Wednesday(20th of December 2007) flagged up Windows Explorer (explorer.exe) as infected with a low-risk virus, Huhk-C. As a result the core Windows component was quarantined or worse.

Kaspersky released a revised update alongside advice on how to recover legitimate system and application files from quarantine (the default setting) within two hours. But that's not much consolation for users that had set their software to auto-delete infected files, who found themselves with hosed systems.


Channel Register

For those affected by this false positive, Kaspersky has provided procedures for a fix.

Security Updates for Some Applications

Saturday, 15. December 2007, 03:12:55

, , ,

Apple QuickTime Security Update

From Security Fix, WashingtonPost:

Apple has issued an update to its QuickTime media player software to plug at least three security holes, including one that cyber criminals already are using to break into vulnerable systems.

The new version, QuickTime 7.3.1, is available for Mac and Windows. Mac users can grab the update via the built-in Software Update feature. Windows users who have QuickTime already installed can get the fixes using the Apple Software Update program that ships with QuickTime.


If you are Windows user and already removed Apple Software Update program, visit HERE on downloading it.

OpenOffice Security Update

From F-Secure:

OpenOffice.org contains a security vulnerability in the default database engine for all versions prior to OpenOffice.org 2.3.1.

Database documents may allow attackers to execute arbitrary code. Updating to version 2.3.1 is the recommended solution.


VLC media player Security Update

From F-Secure:

VLC media player, a free media player application by the VideoLAN project, contains a vulnerability in its ActiveX plugin that could allow specifically crafted websites to execute arbitrary code.

The vulnerability is limited to the local user's privileges and exploitation requires the user to visit a maliciously crafted website using VLC media player's ActiveX plugin.

Avoiding the ActiveX plugin is an available workaround. The plugin is an optional component during VLC installation.

Updating to version 0.8.6d resolves the issue.
