IE is stupid...

E-mail Print PDF

Although I am a Linux system administrator/MySQL DBA by trade, I do have the misfortune of having to maintain a windows server as part of my job. This is not something I enjoy...

Today I was presented with this gem:

Basically the server was due an upgrade. Not unusual, it happens a couple of times a week. Being the thorough system admin, I decided to see what wonders Microsoft had now decided to release upon us. Not surprisingly, there was a security update an outdated bit of software we use: Exchange Server 2003...

I was curious, and followed the link to see what horrors this was claiming to fix. After all, security falls in my area here. Lo and behold: IE blocks such information!? Apparantly access to such information is deemed insecure? Surely, this will not deter anybody from finding out about how to exploit the security problem. But it might stop somebody from installing the fix...

http://support.microsoft.com is blocked by IE!?
