I'm inclined to agree the hotfix seems an unlikely cause. Next thing would be to check the mysql mail lists and bulletin boards and the sourceforge mysql faq. Check archives and such to see if the question has already been answered. If not ask. It's not as if repeat questions don't occur.
drew -----Original Message----- From: Smile-Poet [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, June 06, 2004 7:56 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [wdvltalk] RE: [OT] freezing in MySQL Drew, I have uninstalled everything that has been recently added but there is no change in the problem. However I see that a 'hotfix' was installed by M$ on 15 May. I wonder if uninstalling that might be my answer? Is it likely to be affecting any part of a local server, since it seems to be related to the risk of remote code execution? The Security bulletin is: >>>>>>>>>>>Microsoft Security Bulletin MS04-015 Vulnerability in Help and Support Center Could Allow emote Code Execution (840374)<<<<<<<<<<<<< And the part that may be relevant says: >>>>>>>>>>>>>> Workarounds for Help and support Center Vulnerability - CAN-2004-0199: Microsoft has tested the following workarounds. While these workarounds will not correct the underlying vulnerability, they help block known attack vectors. When a workaround reduces functionality, it is identified below. . Unregister the HCP Protocol. To help prevent an attack, unregister the HCP Protocol by deleting the following key from the registry: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\HCP. To do so, follow these steps: 1. Click Start, and then click Run. 2. Type regedit, and then click OK. The registry editor program launches. 3. Expand HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT, and then highlight the HCP key. 4. Right-click the HCP key, and then click Delete.<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< What do you think?? Joseph > > Not so 'Aha...' > > Still freezing. I have removed all the tables except the controlling > 'mysql'.
