Vulnerabilities were identified in third-party trouble-shooting ActiveX controls, developed by SupportSoft. Two of these controls were signed, shipped and installed with the identified versions of Symantec s consumer products and as part of the Symantec Automated Support Assistant support tool. The vulnerability identified in the Symantec shipped controls could potentially result in a stack overflow requiring user interaction to exploit. If successfully exploited this vulnerability could potentially compromise a user s system possibly allowing execution of arbitrary code or unauthorized access to systemassets with the permissions of the user s browser.

It’s annoying that whenever hip hop is criticized, the worst examples are held up for ridicule. Talking about pop gangsta rap as if it were synonymous with “black hip hop” is like talking about Kenny G as if he were representative of all jazz.

How To Install VMware Server On Ubuntu 7.04 (Feisty Fawn)
This tutorial provides step-by-step instructions about how to
install the free VMware Server on an Ubuntu 7.04 (Feisty Fawn) system.
With VMware Server you can create and run guest operating systems
(“virtual machines”) such as Linux, Windows, FreeBSD, etc. under a host
operating system. This has the benefit that you can run multiple
operating systems on the same hardware which saves a lot of money, and
you can move virtual machines from one VMware Server to the next one
(or to a system that has the VMware Player which is also free).

Digital currency company E-gold has been indicted by US department of justice for suspected money laundering and illegal money transmitting. This is interesting as we have seen E-Gold, Webmoney, Western union, Fethard and other similar services being used by online criminals for quite a long time.
For example, here’s a snippet from the Iframecash web site – this gang has been known to use exploits (such as WMF and ANI) to drop drive-by-installs to innocent bystanders’ machines.
We have no information whether E-gold staff has been aware of misuse of their services, or whether they have been able to do anything to prevent misuse. But we sure have seen lots of criminals using E-gold.

Several of the Government websites we monitored over the weekend are still down in Estonia.
Some sites are up but are in “light-weight” mode. For example, the site of the Estonian Police has been changed to one text-only page.
Here are the Netcraft availability stats on the Estonian Government official home www.valitsus.ee. Not a pretty sight.
As the real-world riots seemed to have calmed down by now, hopefully the net attacks will too.

Another six months, another release from the Ubuntu folks. The Ubuntu 7.4 release, better known as Ubuntu Feisty Fawn, is another cutting-edge, but not bleeding-edge, release that shows what Linux is capable of on the desktop. I’ve been running it since the early betas, and have found that it’s the best Ubuntu release yet.

I broke down and read Getting Things Done (GTD) in February (after letting the book sit unopened on the couch for a month). When I finished, I was determined to adopt the popular organizational method. I searched for a solid software tool to track projects and next actions, and found dozens of desktop-oriented applications to choose from. One of the GTD axioms is to collect all of your tasks, projects, and lists in one place; since I regularly use four PCs and laptops and

This guide shows how to install three different Internet Explorer versions (6., 5.5, and 5.) on Ubuntu Feisty Fawn, Edgy Eft and Dapper Drake desktops. This is good for people such as web designers who have switched to Linux but still need to test their web sites in Internet Explorer. In addition to that, there are still a few web sites out there that work only in Internet Explorer.
