Hi all,a new SecurityFocus article has been published. I have been filtering out non-webappsec related SF article announcements, but I think patching and defects affects all of us, so I've forwarded this one.
If you'd like me to forward all the SF article announcements, please e-mail me privately and I'll assess support and decide accordingly.
thanks, Andrew Begin forwarded message:
The following interview was published on SecurityFocus today: Patching a broken Windows interview by Robert Lemos 2006-01-09 Robert Lemos interviews Datarescue's senior software developer Ilfak Guilfanov, the creator of the unofficial patch for the flaw in the Windows Meta File format that saw tens of thousands of downloads prior to the official patch release by Microsoft. Guilfanov explains why he decided to issue a patch for the vulnerability, how he created the patch, and his thoughts on whether third-party patches are generally a good thing. http://www.securityfocus.com/columnists/378
