Re: What?
Like the infected files on MS's own download sites, for example? (There were several instances of this - one that I remember involving Word macro virus infections in their .DOC files (notice how those are all zipped into self-extracting .exe files now?), and one that I think involved some binaries too.)
The funny thing is, file-integrity shouldn't be an issue here, the SP2 installer is digitally-signed by MS. So if it were possible to modify the download, in a way that was not able to be detected by the digital signature "wrapper", then that would be directly akin to MS admitted that their whole digital signature system doesn't work. |
