Windows IT Pro Following through on its promise to accelerate the development of its flagship web browser, Microsoft on Tuesday introduced the first developer-oriented Platform Preview release of Internet Explorer 10 during the opening day of its MIX'11 conference. The company will deliver new releases every 12 weeks, and will presumably include the final version of IE 10 in Windows 8, which is due in mid-2012. ... View the full article

Windows IT Pro As I write this, I'm preparing for MIX'11, Microsoft web developer show that's recently turned into a web and phone developer show because of Windows Phone. I'm curious to see what the company says about the future of its currently struggling new mobile platform, though there are signs of hope from IDC and Gartner, both of which have predicted huge success for Windows Phone thanks entirely to Nokia's decision to focus on it. ...

Bulletin Severity Rating:Critical - This security update resolves a privately reported vulnerability in the OpenType Compact Font Format (CFF) driver. The vulnerability could allow remote code execution if a user views content rendered in a specially crafted CFF font. In all cases, an attacker would have no way to force users to view the specially crafted content. Instead, an attacker would have to convince users to visit a Web site, typically by getting them to click a link in an e-mail message or Instant Messenger message that takes users to the attacker's Web site.

Bulletin Severity Rating:Critical - This security update resolves a privately reported vulnerability in Windows DNS resolution. The vulnerability could allow remote code execution if an attacker gained access to the network and then created a custom program to send specially crafted LLMNR broadcast queries to the target systems. Firewall best practices and standard default firewall configurations can help protect networks from attacks that originate outside the enterprise perimeter. Best practices recommend that systems that are connected to the Internet have a minimal number of ports exposed. In this case, the LLMNR ports should be blocked from the Internet.

Bulletin Severity Rating:Critical - This security update resolves a publicly disclosed vulnerability in Microsoft .NET Framework. The vulnerability could allow remote code execution on a client system if a user views a specially crafted Web page using a Web browser that can run XAML Browser Applications (XBAPs). Users whose accounts are configured to have fewer user rights on the system could be less impacted than users who operate with administrative user rights. The vulnerability could also allow remote code execution on a server system running IIS, if that server allows processing ASP.NET pages and an attacker succeeds in uploading a specially crafted ASP.NET page to that server and then executes the page, as could be the case in a Web hosting scenario. This vulnerability could also be used by Windows .NET applications to bypass Code Access Security (CAS) restrictions. View the full article
