Windows XP SP2 and enhanced memory protection
This is a peer-to-peer newsgroup and no one, outside Microsoft, has credible
knowledge of any forthcoming SP2 "enhanced memory protection". The Microsoft developers may have such knowledge, but they do not participate in answering questions or commenting in this public newsgroup. -- Carey Frisch Microsoft MVP Windows XP - Shell/User -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------- "Simon Merrell" wrote in message: ... | Does anyone know more about this new "enhanced memory protection" coming in windows XP sp2? Would like to know some more details on this, and also if the same technology is coming for Windows 2000 or Server 2003? | | Here's an extract: | "Kaplan admitted that Microsoft's record on security has "not been good enough", but he claims the company is improving. Security is now the number one priority for Microsoft and that will be demonstrated with SP2, he said, revealing that the update will contain enhanced memory protection in an attempt to reduce the operating system's vulnerability to buffer overflow exploits. "One of the primary way worms get onto the system is by what they call a buffer overflow. There is a new technology that lets us lock out people's ability to install code in Windows using a buffer overflow," he said." | | Full article | http://zdnet.com.com/2100-1105-5091381.html |

Windows XP SP2 and enhanced memory protection
"Carey Frisch [MVP]" squirted these wordjisms
deep inside the bumtube of the news**** in : This is a peer-to-peer newsgroup and no one, outside Microsoft, has credible knowledge of any forthcoming SP2 "enhanced memory protection". The Microsoft developers may have such knowledge, but they do not participate in answering questions or commenting in this public newsgroup. No disrespect, but I simply don't see the point in your reply at all. Now if you had said "wait and see", I would probably have understood. -- ********************************* David Qunt ************************************************** ** |
