MICROSOFT SECURE EMAIL ISSUES WINDOWS
It has led to problems like CVE-2002-0481, "an interaction between Windows Media Player (WMP) and Outlook 2002 allows remote attackers to bypass Outlook security settings and execute JavaScript via an IFRAME in an HTML email message." If that sounds like a recipe for security issues, that's because it was. The reasons go back to the days of Outlook 2003 and earlier, where HTML email content was rendered by embedded Internet Explorer. Word's Web Layout view is little used, and users are only likely to encounter it if they open an HTML document in Word, or foolishly attempt to author web content there and save as HTML. The only things that typically worked was rolling back the last Office update, or running Outlook in safe mode. Attempts to create or reply to an email allowed a line of text to be typed, but when the user pressed enter, the text disappeared.Īdmins steeped in the strange ways of Office and Windows tried the usual range of fixes, rebooting PCs, reinstalling Office, poking through the event viewer, digging deep into Outlook options to disable hardware graphics acceleration, but generally without success. It was on the evening of May 11th, UK time, and in the middle of the working day in North America (18:24 UTC, 19:24 BST, 11:24 Pacific), that many Office 365 customers using Outlook on Windows observed a frustrating problem: blank emails (or maybe showing just one line), even though a few lines of the email could be previewed in the list of messages. Microsoft has published a Preliminary Post Incident Report on last week's events which broke Outlook on Windows for millions of users, making emails impossible to view or create.
