As service providers move to deliver new, high-growth, software-based services for both consumers and business customers, Microsoft
Windows 2000 Server is playing an important role.
User success stories, independent research studies and other benchmarks are testimony to the scalability, reliability and cost-effectiveness of the platform, which is being adopted by an increasing number of service providers, including British Telecommunications, Cable & Wireless, Data Return, Digex and Qwest Communications. The strength of the Windows 2000 platform for the service provider industry was highlighted last week at SUPERCOMM 2000, North America´s largest telecommunications trade show.

Patch Available for "Undelimited .HTR Request" and "File Fragment Reading via .HTR" Vulnerabilities

Summary
=======
Microsoft has released a patch that eliminates two security vulnerabilities in Microsoft Internet Information Server. The vulnerabilities could, respectively, be used to slow an affected web server´s response or to obtain the source code of certain types of files under very restricted conditions.
Frequently asked questions regarding this vulnerability and the patch can be found at http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/fq00-031.asp
Issue
=====
This patch eliminates two security vulnerabilities that are unrelated except by virtue of the fact that both exist in the ISAPI extension that provides web-based password administration via .HTR scripts.
- The "Undelimited .HTR Request" vulnerability is a denial of service vulnerability. If a malicious user provided a password change request that was missing an expected delimiter, the algorithm would conduct an unbounded search. This would prevent it from servicing additional .HTR requests, and could also slow the overall response of the server.
- The ".HTR File Fragment Reading" vulnerability could allow fragments of certain types of files to be read by providing a malformed request that would cause the .HTR processing to be applied to them. However, the vulnerability could only be exploited under extremely restrictive conditions, and the most valuable data in the files would be the least likely to actually appear in the fragments sent to the user.
Neither of these vulnerabilities would allow data to be added, deleted or changed on the server, nor would they allow any administrative control on the server to be usurped. Although .HTR files are used to allow web-based password administration, neither of these vulnerabilities involve any weakness in password handling. Also, if security best practices have been followed, and unneeded script mappings have been removed, many customers will have removed the .HTR script mapping and thus be unaffected by either vulnerability.

Microsoft has officially unveiled Windows CE 3.0, the latest version of its embedded operating system, with the hope of stimulating its fortunes in the device market the same way Windows 3.0 did in the PC arena.
To help its efforts, the Redmond giant plans price cuts which could be as high as 50 per cent, but it is coy about exact figures. Microsoft´s Platform Builder 3.0 developer software will also be free to customers of previous version.
