Windows Flaw patched or not??
On a new advisory, Secunia talks about a flaw in Windows when accessing a shared folder on a local network with IE that has a overly long name (300 bytes or more). According to Microsoft, the flaw should have been fixed with SP1 (there's also a Microsoft Knowledge Base article #322857 that describes it and its resolution), but accordingly to Secunia the flaw seems not be fixed by the service pack. Secunia says that "the only resolution at the moment is to disable the Client for Microsoft Networks", but, as you can easily understand, this type of action causes a problem when you are trying to share files on your network.
So, what's the truth? Are there really problems? I hope there will be informations soon...
