Posted by: TotalRecall
Security Risk Stems From:
+Microsoft Office XP and Internet Explorer version 5 and later are configured to request to send debugging information to Microsoft in the event of a program crash. The debugging information includes a memory dump which may contain all or part of the document being viewed or edited. This debug message potentially could contain sensitive, private information.
Products affected:
+Microsoft Office XP
+Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.0 and later
+Windows XP
+Microsoft has indicated that this will be a feature of all new Microsoft products
Fix:
+Apply the registry changes listed in this bulletin to disable the automatic sending of debugging information. If you are working with sensitive information and a program asks to send debugging information to Microsoft, you should click Don't Send.
The information bulletin is here.
