Additional Issues That Are Fixed by Microsoft Office XP Service Pack 2 (SP-2)

Additionally, the issues in this section are also fixed by Office XP SP-2.

Project Server Fixes

Pages with the PWA ActiveX grid control cannot be accessed through the IHTMLDocument2 interface. As a result, you cannot use the Microsoft Internet Explorer object model to access the innerHTML or outerHTML properties of the body text in pages hosting the PWA ActiveX grid control.

In the PWA View Availability, when exceptions are contained in the resource calendar, and the assignment units are greater than 100%, work is incorrectly displayed.

Security Fixes

The Spreadsheet Component Host functions is exploitable.
Spreadsheet Component methods allow script to verify that a file exists without doing cross-domain checks.
Spreadsheet copy and paste functions ignore the Allow paste operations via script security setting when it is turned off in Internet Explorer.
Various Office Web Component Load methods can be used to inventory files on the hard disk.
