MSDN Webcast: Identifying Least-Privilege User Account (LUA) Bugs With the LUA Buglight Tool (Level 200)

Tags: windows vista, vista, applications

Overview Applications that unnecessarily require administrative privileges are among the biggest obstacles to secure desktop deployment, and this is not likely to change for Windows Vista deployments. Designing applications to install and run under the Least-Privilege User Account (LUA) can help to address this problem to a certain degree, but some applications can still break when run with a limited user account. Identifying specific causes for these "LUA bugs" has traditionally been very difficult, and applying the fixes often exposes other unnecessary risks. This webcast introduces LUA Buglight, a new tool that quickly identifies the specific causes of "LUA bugs", which the user can remediate at the code level or at deployment with carefully tailored system tweaks.
