ASP.NET security patch, what's changed

I've snooped around with fiddler to see what changes have been introduced by the patch release today for the ASP.NET framework.

I've seen to notable differences in the behaviour of webresource.axd:

  1. The d parameter is now set to a value much longer than before, it seems it's 50 bytes longer
  2. Tampering with this parameter will not trigger a 500 server error and an entry in the application event log. A regular 404 error is returned to the browser, and nothing is logged in the event log.
My guess is that they have included an integrity check of some kind. Also, they've fixed the problem with error messages distinguishing between the different errors occuring. Now, it's all 404 errors.

Anyhow, it's time to go home from work. Unfortunately, my local time is quite far from PDT. Happy patching!

  14. Actually ASP.net framework is totally designed for the windows based systems, now the issue is the system is too hard to carry. I have also done PhD. in Computer Science but Asp.net liberaries are so difficult to handle and now I am stuck in the assignment of Computer Science Python and need of professional assignment writing service because It's hard to handle.

  15. In the recent ASP.NET framework patch, I've noticed two key changes in webresource.axd: the d parameter length has increased by about 50 bytes, and tampering with it now results in a 404 error instead of a 500 server error with event log entries. It seems an integrity check has been introduced, and error messages are now uniformly reported as 404 errors.

  16. The recent ASP.NET patch release seems to have enhanced the integrity check for webresource.axd, as tampering now results in a 404 error without logging. Also, the d parameter is longer by 50 bytes.
