AusCERT Week in Review
15 June 2007


Greetings,

Microsoft Tuesday saw a varied mix of patches released. Most concerning to us
were the six Internet Explorer vulnerabilities, five of which could result in
the execution of abitrary code when visiting a specially crafted web page. 
Malicious web pages are a very common vector used by attackers to deploy
trojans, so we expect this to feature in such incidents in the near future.
Also, there proof of concept code has already been released for the Speech
Control Memory Corruption Vulnerability (CVE-2007-2222).

There has been another proof of concept released which cliams to exploit an
unpatched vulnerability in the MSODataSourceControl ActiveX control within
Office. 

Finally, another reminder that there are still places available in the AusCERT
2 day hands-on Windows Intrusion Prevention Workshop in Canberra on the 25-26
June and in Sydney on the 26-27 July.  The course description and registration
are on our web site at www.auscert.org.au/wipw-aus or by calling AusCERT on
1800 648 458.  Payments for these courses are done by invoice after the 
course.

If you have any questions regarding these courses, please don't hesitate to
e-mail us at training at auscert.org.au or by using the phone number above.

Regards,
Rob.
