A security vulnerability in an antipiracy tool included in Microsoft's
Office version X for the Apple Macintosh can allow an attacker to crash
applications in Office, Microsoft said in a bug alert on Thursday.
The vulnerability is in the Network Product Identification Checker component
of Office X. That component is a tool that checks the local network where
the copy of Office is running, to detect any other copies that are using the
same Product Identifier (PID), a number similar to a serial number,
Microsoft said. Each copy of Office X periodically "announces" its PID to
the network, and if two copies of Office X on a single network share the
same PID, the application shuts down.
<Fajne :)

W Âświecie makówek to nic niezwykÂłego. Spora czêœÌ drogiego,
profesjonanego oprogramowania ma lub moaÂła taki mechanizm. Np. Quark
Xpress tak ma (moÂże teraz nie bo stosujÂą klucze sprzĂŞtowe), niektóre
aplikacje Adobe teÂż tak miaÂły. RóÂżnica byÂła taka Âże druga kopia siĂŞ
nie uruchamiaÂła. WyÂświetlaÂła stosowny komunikat i odmawiaÂła
wspóÂłpracy, a nie zdychaÂła z nienacka.
