Copy Protection Bites Microsoft

November 6, 2007, 19:15(EST) By Eric (a.k.a. TweakHound)

Karma???

Microsoft has warned that a faulty driver used for copy protection could allow a hacker to gain high-level access to a PC. The problem lies with a driver called secdrv.sys, which is part Macrovision’s SafeDisc software included with Windows Server 2003 and Windows XP. The software, which can block unauthorized copying of some media, also ships with Windows Vista, but that OS is not affected.

Update: Process Explorer v11.03

Ever wondered which program has a particular file or directory open? Now you can find out. Process Explorer shows you information about which handles and DLLs processes have opened or loaded…
Process Explorer v11.03: This update to Process Explorer, an advanced process information utility, has a number of miscellaneous improvements. For example, the thread support in the process properties dialog is enhanced with Wow64 thread stacks on 64-bit Windows and kernel stacks on Windows Vista and Server 2008. In addition, tooltips on the service hosting processes now show service names, the user SID is displayed on the security properties page, and column headers have tooltips when they’re too small to display their text.
