Re: Access is denied after applying security updates

Jan,

Well, that's the SECOND mistake. The update is (and I promise, this IS the one ;) : Microsoft Security Bulletin MS06-057
Vulnerability in Windows Explorer Could Allow Remote Execution (923191)
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/Bulletin/MS06-057.mspx

There are active exploits circulating on the internet and the above should be installed ASAP.

Howdy Jan,

I don't *think* that any of the updates are causing the issue. Then again, I could be wrong ;)
I don't use the web-based reader, rather through an email client, so I don't see popups here.
Suggest you install the updates one at a time and then test if functionality is hindered on your web page.

Since the thumbnails are dependent on javascript to open I'd look to the blocking of javascript on your system as being the culprit.
None of the updates deal with javascript.

BTW, I posted the *wrong* update that should be installed ASAP. It's this one: Microsoft Security Bulletin MS06-055
Vulnerability in Vector Markup Language Could Allow Remote Code Execution (925486)
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/Bulletin/MS06-055.mspx

Sorry about that !

Hi MowGreen

Thanks for your speedy reply !!!
I am pleased that my website works for you as it means that (hopefully) the problem is maybe just on my machine.

I did not see the yellow notice bar, as I have switched the ennoying information bar off.
But wen I switched it ON, I saw the bar and allowed my page for popup.
Alas: clicking on the thumbnail did not give the popped up image, nothing happened.

And when I went to this newsgroup I could not popup the answer in 'full format'.
But when I deleted the updates I could popup again ...

I assume it must be some security setting which somehow conflicts with the set of new updates.

Any ideas ??

Jan,

Just tested your site and am not seeing the behavior you've described.
All the updates are installed, IE6 SP2, on an XP Pro SP2 system.
Did you see the yellow notice bar appear informing you that a popup was blocked ?
Add : http://www.madpc.net/~firmament/astro/main_screen.html?http://www.madpc.net/~firmament/astro/latest_images.html&2

to the allowed popup sites or reenable the Notification Bar so that you can approve the popup.

The following update SHOULD be installed ASAP as their is active exploitation of this vulnerability currently on the net -
Microsoft Security Bulletin MS06-061
Vulnerabilities in Microsoft XML Core Services Could Allow Remote Code Execution (924191)

I just applied updates KB923414 - KB924496 - KB923191 - KB924191 - KB922819.

To my dismay my own website on my own stand-alone local machine does not work correctly anymore, as some scripts are not executed anymore.
Instead - after invoking the script error notifcation in IE -> Tools -> Security I see the message: Access is denied, followed by the URL.
And also my life website has exactly the same problems for me ....

I tried several changes in the IE security settings but that did not help; even Cusotm level LOW did not help :-\

But Mozilla Firefox has no problems at all :o)

So I deleted the installation of the above updates and now it works again.
No, I did not try the updates one by one to find out which one causes the pain, as I think this is up to Microsoft developers.

I have switched off the Automatic Update function so that I will not be surprised with an unwanted installation.
But alas: many of my website visitors also run IE and will experience the same problem, I am afraid.

My website is here:
http://www.madpc.net/~firmament/ Just enter, click on "Latest Images w/Info" and try to pop-up one of the thumbnail images: does not work after installing the above updates, but runs without them.

I look forward to a simple workaround.

Best
