Some vulnerabilities have been reported in Apache HTTP Server, which can be exploited by malicious people to gain access to potentially sensitive information, cause a DoS (Denial of Service) and potentially compromise a vulnerable system.

1) The “ap_proxy_ajp_request()” function in modules/proxy/mod_proxy_ajp.c of the mod_proxy_ajp module returns the “HTTP_INTERNAL_SERVER_ERROR” error code when processing certain malformed requests. This can be exploited to put the backend server into an error state until the retry timeout expired by sending specially crafted requests.

2) The mod_isapi module unloads ISAPI modules before the request processing is complete, potentially leaving orphaned callback pointers behind. This can be exploited by sending a specially crafted request followed by a reset packet.

Successful exploitation may allow the execution of arbitrary code with SYSTEM privileges on Windows systems.

3) An error exists within the header handling when processing subrequests, which can lead to sensitive information from a request being handled by the wrong thread if a multi-threaded Multi-Processing Module (MPM) is used.

To protect yourself and your server please upgrade to version 2.2.15 as soon as you can.

Today, Microsoft officially announced that May 12th, 2010, is the launch date for SharePoint 2010 & Office 2010. In addition, they announced the intent to RTM (Release to Manufacturing) this April 2010.

With Microsoft Office 2010, you can review and do minor editing on Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and OneNote 2010 documents, virtually anywhere, by using Office Web Apps from more locations on more devices.

Keep your people productive on the go. Office 2010 lets you access and edit documents stored on a server while you’re offline with SharePoint Workspace 2010, and then automatically syncs these changes when you’re back online. So you stay productive while on the go.

Support your employees, regardless of location or device. Office 2010 saves you time and money by helping you deploy and manage Office on the PC, the smartphone, and the Web, all from within familiar Microsoft System Center tools.

Copy-and-paste functionality is such a fixture in computing that few realized just how much we took it for granted until Apple left it out of the iPhone’s initial release, causing uproar, and then offered it two years later, inspiring a standing ovation.

Yet despite the elemental status of copy and paste, the feature has changed little over the years. For instance, why is it that the Windows operating system lets you copy and paste only one selection at a time?

This week, I give you a clipboard workaround and spotlight M8 Free Clipboard and PasteCopy.NET, two free applications that give copy and paste a big boost.

I’m sure most of you already heard about the massive interest for the first official Opera 10 release, which to some extent may be triggered by the new Turbo technology. Now, it seems that there’s even more to be excited about. The forthcoming “Beta” introduces a new technology called Opera Unite, radically extending what you are able to do online.

Opera Unite harnesses the power of today’s fast connections and hardware, allowing all of us to help define the future landscape of the Web, one computer at a time. Read about how Opera Unite is going to change the way we interact on the Web on labs.opera.com.

Having been a loyal Firefox user for many years I see now that both Google Chrome and Opera makes fantastic alternatives. However, I keep asking myself, WHY does people still use IE when the competition is so clearly miles ahead??? Please feel free to share your take on this as is doesn’t make sense to me at all.

On a side note I bet all the IT staff in big corporations/companies use something other than IE, they’re simply not taking the step forward as it could require working overtime due to users not being able to adapt to any SW changes. And there’s also the obvious connection between MS Office and any of their other products – but I’m sure the competition could handle it all.
