abstract
This patch is for a security issue found in GMS 1.0. This patch can update either GMS 1.0 and GMS 1.0 DST code. Please see the installation instructions for information on applying the patch.

details
Details have been taken from the following URL that address issues with the GMS 1.0 release:

http://www.sec-consult.com/289.html

* Some ASP scripts under /usrmgr/ list all configured users including
the mail server address with userid (but no password).

* Furthermore it is possible to deactivate all users and denial access
to the system.

* Some ASP scripts are vulnerable to cross site scripting attacks.

An attacker does not need to be authenticated to perform those attacks!

To apply the patch, do the following:

1) Download the file gms10hp1.exe and place it in an empty directory.
2) Execute the file and when prompted, extract the file into the same empty directory.
3) Copy the files under the www directory in the extracted files to \www, overwriting the previous version of the files that are there.

It is not necessary to stop and restart the server--the changes take effect immediately

Additional steps to take:

Remove the files /usrmgr/userList.asp and /usrmgr/userStatusList.asp, as well as the rest of the contents of the \www\usrmgr directory.
