Microsoft Security Advisory (945713): Vulnerability in Web Proxy Auto-Discovery (WPAD
Revision Note: Advisory Updated: The registry key for the Configure a Domain Suffix Search List workaround has been corrected to the proper key of SearchList. Advisory Summary:Microsoft is investigating new public reports of a vulnerability in the way Windows resolves hostnames that do not include a fully-qualified domain name (FQDN). The technology that the vulnerability affects is Web Proxy Auto-Discovery (WPAD). Microsoft has not received any information to indicate that this vulnerability has been publicly used to attack customers, and Microsoft is not aware of any customer impact at this time. Microsoft is aggressively investigating the public reports. Customers whose domain name begins in a third-level or deeper domain, such as â??contoso.co.usâ??, or for whom the following mitigating factors do not apply, are at risk from this vulnerability.

http::cookies::microsoft

HTTP::Cookies::Microsoft(3)				User Contributed Perl Documentation			       HTTP::Cookies::Microsoft(3)

NAME

       HTTP::Cookies::Microsoft - access to Microsoft cookies files

SYNOPSIS

	use LWP;
	use HTTP::Cookies::Microsoft;
	use Win32::TieRegistry(Delimiter => "/");
	my $cookies_dir = $Registry->
	     {"CUser/Software/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/Explorer/Shell Folders/Cookies"};

	$cookie_jar = HTTP::Cookies::Microsoft->new(
			  file	   => "$cookies_dir\index.dat",
			  'delayload' => 1,
		      );
	my $browser = LWP::UserAgent->new;
	$browser->cookie_jar( $cookie_jar );

DESCRIPTION

       This is a subclass of "HTTP::Cookies" which loads Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.x and 6.x for Windows (MSIE) cookie files.

       See the documentation for HTTP::Cookies.

METHODS

       The following methods are provided:

       $cookie_jar = HTTP::Cookies::Microsoft->new;
	   The constructor takes hash style parameters. In addition to the regular HTTP::Cookies parameters, HTTP::Cookies::Microsoft recognizes
	   the following:

	     delayload:       delay loading of cookie data until a request
			      is actually made. This results in faster
			      runtime unless you use most of the cookies
			      since only the domain's cookie data
			      is loaded on demand.

CAVEATS

       Please note that the code DOESN'T support saving to the MSIE cookie file format.
