1. Application configuration/Scenario: remote server is VMS that issues
alarms with their tones when different level of exceptions happen. Local
machine is a client on a Windows 2000 machine, which receives the alarm/tone
information. On the client site there is a priority file including these
tones' wav files and orders the tone based on the alarm priority. When both a
lower priority tone and a higher priority tone are triggered, the higher
priority tone overwrite the lower one.
2. Problem: before install MS security patch related to
MS05-012(Vulnerability in OLE and COM), the priority file controls which tone
to issue. After install the MS security patch, the priority file does not
work.
3. Question: what MS05-012 does for OLE and COM, and what the impact on the
system to recognize the wav file? (Since someone remove the ".wav" changed
the line "tone1.wav" to "tone1" in the priority file, the problem seems got
the fixed. We need to know why this fixes the problem.
