FrontPage 2000 Personal Web Server Vulnerability Patch 2000 Click here to email this to a friend.

Microsoft has released a patch that addresses a vulnerability in Personal Web Server running under the Microsoft Windows® 95 or Windows 98 operating systems. The vulnerability could allow files on the server to be accessed by an unauthorized user who knew the name of the file and requested it via a specific non-standard URL. Users running Personal Web Server on Microsoft Windows NT® are not affected. Furthermore, most Microsoft FrontPage users will not be affected by this vulnerability. By default, FrontPage 2000 installs Microsoft Personal Web Server, which is not affected by the vulnerability—Microsoft Personal Web Server 4.0 is the only version affected by this vulnerability.

For more information, please read the article Patches for File Access Vulnerability in Personal Web Servers
