I'm a new subscriber and would like the following information, if at all
possible.
I would like to know about the wife of Col. Goodrich Lightfoot I (born 1685
in Orange Co/Spotsylvania Co, VA and died in 1738 in Orange Co, VA).
He married in Spotsylvania Co, VA a Mary Chew or an Ann Chew.
I would like to know proof of his marriage and the names of her parents.
Their children are :
Anne
William
John
Mary
Elizabeth
Goodrich, Jr.
Their son, John, died in 1735 and left property to Mrs. Mary Chew.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Ruthie Windsor-Mann
Joan Bretz graciously sent me a list of the Chews
I have in my line, only one name of which I had.
I now have dozens instantly! It came from the
book:
Genealogy of the Chew Family - published by
the Gloucester County Historical Society.
I can pass on some of this information to others,
and would like any info you have on this interesting
family, to round out my info!
I certainly intend to get this book soon. It's only
about $30 with S/H, according to Joan.

Hi
If you would like me to add a link to your Chew connected web page, let me
know. I will be happy to do it. Many subscribers are away now, hopefully
when school starts, etc. this list will get going!

Hi - I'm sure many of you have seen this on your other lists, but if not I'm
sending it to mine. Tim Pierce also believes this is for real, I've seen it
on CNN and other news programs. Guess it's better to be safe than sorry.
This is not a hoax. Microsoft has put out a security bulletin on this
and a patch. You can view them at
http://www.microsoft.com/misc/bulletin.htm. Netscape is still working on
a fix for its messenger client.

Hi team
You may be interested in the following CIAC Bulletin.
If you believe this too be a hoax then just hit the delete key....
For my part I don't - the formating was Ok when I downloaded this in the
office this morning but something seems to have gone wrong when I
forwarded
it home.
Regards
Geoff

ADVISORY BULLETIN
Mime Name Vulnerability in Outlook and Messenger
July 27, 1998 20:00 GMT Number
I-077
________________________________________________________________________
__
PROBLEM: A buffer overflow vulnerability has been identified in
Microsoft Outlook, Outlook Express, and Netscape
Messenger
(Mail) that allows an e-mail or news message to contain
malicious code in a mime header. That code is executed
when the
header is read by the e-mail/news reader. All of these
e-mail/news readers are widely distributed with popular
packages such as Internet Explorer, Windows 98, Windows
97,
Office 97, and Netscape Communicator.
PLATFORM: Any platform that runs the vulnerable e-mail/news
readers:
Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows NT, Macintosh and
Solaris.
DAMAGE: If exploited, this vulnerability allows a remote user to
run
arbitrary code on a users machine with the user's
privileges.
The remotely executed code could do anything from sending
thousands of e-mails in the user's name to formatting the
hard
drive.
SOLUTION: Apply patches from Microsoft and Netscape.
________________________________________________________________________

VULNERABILITY Risk is high. While we have not yet heard of anyone
exploiting
ASSESSMENT: this vulnerability for malicious purposes, the ease with
which
it can be exploited, the wide distribution of vulnerable
readers, and the potential for damage makes it a very
serious
problem.

Mime Name Vulnerability in Outlook and Messenger
CIAC has received information about a vulnerability in the Microsoft and
Netscape e-mail/news products: Outlook, Outlook Express, and Messenger
(Mail).
These e-mail/news programs improperly handle the mime name tags used to
identify attachments to e-mail/news messages. An improper name tag can
result
in a buffer overflow condition when the program processes the
attachment.
As
the reader generally processes the attachments when the user reads the
message, the buffer overflow condition can be initiated, by simply
reading
the
e-mail/news message.
The buffer overflow condition can then be exploited to run any arbitrary
code
contained in the attachment. The code runs with the user's permissions
to
do
anything the user can do such as re-send the e-mail to the users mailing
list,
change files, or format the hard drive.
While at first glance this appears to the Good_Times hoax come to life
(see
http://ciac.llnl.gov/ciac/CIACHoaxes.html#goodtimes) this is not really
the
case. Good_Times was supposed to run itself on any system that
downloaded
and
read the Good_Times message. This mime name vulnerability is caused by
improperly handled mime headers in a few versions of some very popular
e-
mail/news readers. By replacing the vulnerable readers with properly
patched
versions, this vulnerability is eliminated.
BACKGROUND
==========
The Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions or MIME is a protocol for
sending
non-ASCII text or multi-part documents as part of e-mail or news
message.
Users of the readers rarely see the mime headers since they are stripped
out
of the message as it is downloaded onto the user's machine. The mime
headers
tell the reader where the different parts of the message begin and end,
what
type of data is contained in the message part, what encoding is used to
convert the message, what the name of the file is that was attached as a
message part, and other information necessary for the successful
transmission
of the data.
In the vulnerable readers, the headers are read into memory without
checking
their length. When the length of the header is longer than the buffer in
memory where the reader tries to store it, data in the header beyond the
length of the buffer overwrites other code and data in memory. This
overwriting is the classic "buffer overflow" condition. If the
overwritten
piece of memory is part of the running program, the code from the header
in
the overwritten part is executed in place of the program's code.
ASSESSMENT
==========
As of the release date of this advisory, we have not heard of anyone
exploiting this vulnerability but we believe it to be extremely serious.
Users
should take immediate action to patch vulnerable systems. We base this
assessment on the ease with which the vulnerability can be exploited,
the
widespread use of the vulnerable e-mail/news readers, and the potential
for
doing serious damage to a computer.
An additional, serious, long-term problem is the fact that these
e-mail/news
readers are automatically installed on many systems along with web
browsers,
office applications and operating systems. For example, Windows 98 comes
preinstalled on many new systems and contains one of the vulnerable
readers.
As the installations are usually done from a CD-ROM, reinstalling a
system
in
the future for any reason reinstalls the vulnerable readers. Users must
insure
that if they reinstall systems that they then replace the vulnerable
readers
with appropriately patched versions.
VULNERABLE APPLICATIONS
=======================
Vulnerabilities in the following applications have been confirmed by the
manufacturers:
Outlook Express v4.72.2106.4 and v4.72.3110.1
Outlook '98
Netscape Messenger (Mail) v4.05, or 4.5b1
Earlier versions of these applications are also likely to be vulnerable.
The
current version of Eudora does not appear to be vulnerable. Older e-mail
readers that do not handle mime attachments are not vulnerable.
PATCHES
=======
Information is available from Microsoft at:
http://www.microsoft.com/ie/security/oelong.htm
Patched versions of Outlook and Outlook Express are available from
Microsoft
at the URL:
Outlook 98
http://support.microsoft.com/support/msfe
Request the patch OLMIME from Microsoft Support
Outlook Express
First update to Internet Explorer 4.01 at:
http://www.Microsoft.com/ie
Then obtain the patch from:
http://www.microsoft.com/ie/security/oelong.htm
Patches for Macintosh and Solaris versions of Outlook Express will be
available soon at:
http://www.Microsoft.com/security
Version 4.06 of Netscape Communicator is due out around August 7 and
will
contain a patched version of the e-mail reader. Patches will be
available
through their Smart Update web page:
http://home.netscape.com/download/su1.html
