XP Service Pack 1
Windows XP Service Pack 1
(SP1) provides the latest updates to the Windows XP
family of operating systems. These updates are a collection
of fixes in the following areas: application compatibility,
operating system reliability, security, and setup. Microsoft
urges all Windows XP users to apply Windows XP SP1 to
their systems.
Windows XP SP1 Provides Enhanced Security
Windows XP SP1 includes all of the security
patches available via Windows Update. It also contains
all updates resulting from the Windows code review conducted
earlier this year as part of the Trustworthy Computing
initiative.
In addition to the traditional service
pack updates, Windows XP SP1 delivers the required changes
of the proposed consent decree signed with the U.S.
Department of Justice and nine state attorneys general.
The changes allow both computer manufacturers and users
to remove end-user access to Microsoft® Internet
Explorer browser software, Windows Media™ Player,
Windows Messenger, Outlook® Express and Microsoft's
Java virtual machine. This is just one of many components
of the compliance effort undertaken by Microsoft since
the consent decree was signed in November 2001.

several new and exciting Microsoft products designed

Security Hole:
Microsoft released a service pack for Windows XP. It
fixes a serious security hole that Microsoft has known
about for more than 10 weeks.
The Windows XP security hole involves
Windows XP help. The hole lets anyone put a link on
a web site that can wipe out certain hard-drive directories.
If, for whatever reason, you don't or
can't download the service pack, there is an alternative.
There's a file you can rename or delete to fix the security
hole. (Thanks to The Screen Savers for this tip.)
The Steps:
A. Perform a search for a file on your
C drive called uplddrvinfo.htm.
B. Once you've found the file, delete
it or rename it (rename is better, you can rename back).
Doing so will not hinder your ability to use Windows
XP.
XPdite:

XPdite to fix the security hole, visit Gibson
