Outlook 2000 SR-1 Email Security Update SR-1 gives you an deal yet great update which is used to protect against viruses spread via attachments in e-mail. Once you install this update, you will not be able to access attachments with file types that could run executable code or change settings on a computer--actions that could allow a virus to spread.

This update contains a number of security upgrades: e-mail attachment security prevents users from accessing several file types when sent as email attachments, Object Model Guard prompts users with a dialog box when an external program attempts to access their Outlook Address Book or send e-mail on their behalf, which is how insidious viruses such as I Love You spread, Heightened Outlook default security settings increase the default Internet security zone setting within Outlook from 'Internet' to 'restricted sites'. In addition, active scripting within restricted sites is disabled by default.

Requirements:

• Windows 95/98/NT/2000/XP
• Office 2000 Service Release 1a

Microsoft Security Bulletin MS03-006 812709 is a bulletin of security for Microsoft products that users can obtain assistance on a variety of topics. For instance, it provides product documentation, assistance in determining hardware compatibility, access to Windows Update, online help from Microsoft, and other assistance. Users and programs can execute URL links to Help and Support Center by using the "hcp://" prefix in a URL link instead of "http://".

A security vulnerability is present in the Windows Me version of Help and Support Center, and results because the URL Handler for the "hcp://" prefix contains an unchecked buffer.

An attacker could exploit the vulnerability by constructing a URL that, when clicked on by the user, would execute code of the attacker's choice in the Local Computer security context. The URL could be hosted on a web page, or sent directly to the user in email. In the web based scenario, where a user then clicked on the URL hosted on a website, an attacker could have the ability to read or launch files already present on the local machine.

In the case of an e-mail borne attack, if the user was using Outlook Express 6.0 or Outlook 2002 in their default configurations, or Outlook 98 or 2000 in conjunction with the Outlook Email Security Update, then an attack could not be automated and the user would still need to click on a URL sent in e-mail. However if the user was not using Outlook Express 6.0 or Outlook 2002 in their default configurations, or Outlook 98 or 2000 in conjunction with the Outlook Email Security Update, the attacker could cause an attack to trigger automatically without the user having to click on a URL contained in an e-mail.

Requirements: Windows ME
