Four important security updates from Microsoft
Microsoft will issue four security updates for its Windows, Exchange, SQL and software products next Tuesday. All of them have the status of “important”. Vulnerabilities in Exchange and SQL related to increased rights. This means that hackers attack while trying on a computer in theory could gain administrative access to a PC. One of the vulnerabilities OS Windows – so the title of the “deceptive move” by using that hackers may force the user to view malicious Web sites in the Internet.
“Four update addresses a vulnerability in Windows, using the hacker which can run arbitrary code on the victim’s PC” – said Microsoft. Usually, this type of vulnerability is assessed as “critical” of Microsoft, but in this case vulnerability nadan lowest rating was in danger because it can not take without the assistance of the user who will be tentatively set themselves on a PC or special software drivers — said Erik Schulz (Eric Schultze), chief technical department at Shavlik Technologies. This vulnerability security, which enables arbitrary code on the victim affects only PCs with the established system Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008.
The vulnerability affects SQL software products Microsoft SQL Server, as well as internal software SQL, which went along with some versions of Windows. It does not cause harm to users of OS Vista or XP, but users of Windows 2000, Windows Server 2003 and Windows Server 2008 should be careful and install security patches from Microsoft.

Release Microsoft SQL Server 2008 has been postponed again?
Microsoft previously announced that it intends to release SQL Server 2005 Service Pack 3 (SP3) this summer. In turn, raises the question: What then is the status of SQL Server 2008? Officially, he is still on the way to release (has the status of RTM) in the third quarter of this year, and Microsoft itself says that nothing can change this event. But some people say that would not be surprised if the status of RTM (Release To Manufacturing) perenesut again for the fourth quarter of this year.
“Rumours that go before me, talking about August or September” – said Endryu Brust (Andrew Brust). Brust founder of the user group NYC. NET, and the leader of the “New Technology”. He also added that his intuition based on the stability of the last CTP (connectionless transport protocol) – its production is extended for another quarter.
Brust – author of “Programming Microsoft SQL Server 2005″ (Published by Microsoft, 2006), and currently writes continued “Programming Microsoft SQL Sever 2008″ with his colleague Leonard Lobelem (Leonard Lobel). “This is just an assumption, but I really think that they will do it this year.’s Name corporations will force them to do this” – said Brust group of 100 developers.
