Subject: PC Week [Jan. 15, 1996]: Access 2.0 Security Flaw
Hi,

My e-mail to PC Week editors (sent 12/11/1995) about the CopyObjects
flaw of Access 2.0 ran on the January 15th edition of PC Week:

=====================================================================
Dear Editors,

I read with interest your coverage of the Windows 95 password-caching
bug (12/11/95, p.3, Eamonn Sullivan.)

I'm not sure if PCWeek has heard of the Microsoft Access 2.0 opyObject
flaw that allow a lower privileged user of an Access 2.0 application
access to information he doesn't have permission to access.

This has been a hot topic on the comp.databases.ms-access news group
as well as the Microsoft Access forum on CompuServe for quite some
time now.

Microsoft Access Team has posted a message on the CompuServe forum
acknowleging the flaw.  However, without the power of the media, I
cannot independently confirm the authenticity of the message.

Editor's Note: Microsoft has ackowledged this flaw, and a patch is
available.
