We've updated Microsoft Security Advisory 2416728 to include a step in the workaround requiring the blocking of requests that specify the application error path on the querystring. This can be done using URLScan, a free tool for Internet Information Services (IIS) that can selectively block requests based on rules defined by the administrator. If your system is running Internet Information Services (IIS) on Windows Vista Service Pack 2, Windows Server 2008 Service Pack 2, Windows 7, or Windows Server 2008 R2, you can alternatively use the Request Filtering feature.
Microsoft remains committed to taking the appropriate action to help protect our customers. Through our comprehensive monitoring, we continue to see limited active attacks. We want to assure you that we have teams working around the clock worldwide to develop a security update of appropriate quality for distribution to address this vulnerability.
