IE security patch breaks ASP.NET on XP By Brian Livingston This isn't the first time that a Microsoft patch has needed a patch. And it won't be the last time, either. Fortunately, it's not the most horrible or widespread "son-of-a-patch" I've ever seen. But it affects enough people that you may want to listen up. I reported in the August 21 issue of Brian's Buzz that Microsoft had released two new fixes that I strongly recommended you install. One update corrects a security flaw in Internet Explorer 5 and 6, while the other closes a hole in Windows Me, 2000, and XP. (This particular report was in the newsletter's paid version.) The downloads are MS03-032 / 822925 and MS03-033 / 823718, respectively. Warnings about these two updates were drowned out by the wailing and gnashing of teeth caused by the Blaster worm, the SoBig virus, and other highly publicized nightmares last month. But I want to emphasize to you the importance of installing the latest two fixes. The IE hole is rated "critical" by Microsoft, and the other flaw - while merely rated "important" - demands your attention because it affects so many versions of Windows. Unfortunately, installing the IE patch (i.e., MS03-032) wipes out some flavors of Microsoft's ASP.NET environment running on Windows XP Professional. If this problem affects you, any processes that touch ASP.NET applications on Internet Information Server running locally on an XP Pro machine fail with the message, "Server Application Unavailable." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm?link=t:5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm?link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5 Your ad could be here.
