Dear ASP.NET Customer,

This alert is to advise you of the availability of a web page that
discusses an investigation Microsoft is currently conducting into
public reports of a security vulnerability in ASP.NET. A malicious
user could provide a specially-formed URL that could result in the
unintended serving of secured content.

This alert is also to advise you of the availability of a new
Microsoft Knowledge Base article: 887459. This article contains
prescriptive guidance with steps customers can implement on their
ASP.NET applications to help protect against a wide variety of
malformed URL attacks.

Microsoft is providing this prescriptive guidance in order to inform
customers as quickly as possible about the vulnerability and
information on how to prevent an attack. Microsoft is actively
investigating this issue and plans to release additional guidance
and a security update to remedy the issue as soon as possible.
The Microsoft Knowledge Base article can be viewed here:

I am having yet another issue with Windows Server 2003. This time, the web service (a file import web service) appears to run except for one odd message: "ActiveX component can't create object". There are no other statements to indicate what object cannot be created. Otherwise, everything on the test Windows Server 2003 works fine—all import data updates correctly. Unfortunately, my normal development environment is not Windows...

Hi all, If in an ASP program, I need to display a pdf file link for users to print and read. Is there any security issue? We are thinking about doing this is many mail servers block emails with pdf file attachment. We just try to give an opportunity to users to print the document themselves instead of completely depending on email delivery. Thank you. --

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
