| What products are susceptible? All software products can be vulnerable to information disclosure threats. Therefore, a proactive security review process for every Microsoft product must outline various information disclosure threats and how they will be addressed.
Denial of Service (D.o.S.)
What's the threat? Making the system temporarily unavailable or unusable, such as those attacks that could force a reboot or restart of the user's machine. When an attacker can temporarily make the system resources (processing time, storage, etc.) unavailable or unusable, we have a denial of service threat. We must protect against certain types of D.o.S. threats for improved system availability and reliability. However, some types of D.o.S. threats are very hard to protect against, so at a minimum, we must identify and rationalize such threats.
