Default ASP.NET Forms Auth security problem

Everyone who uses ASP.NET should look at this article about a name canonicalization security bug:

http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=887459

This explains an easy work-around for this problem that just needs a couple lines of code added to global.asax, or the code-behind for this file.

This article doesn't go into detail to expain the risk, but this affects all sites that use ASP.NET Forms Authentication, and it's a serious matter. Ignore this warning at your own risk!
