Vulnerability in the Microsoft Jet Database Engine Could Allow Code Execution (837001)
Update Type:
Security Update
Severity:
Important
Date:
2005-02-19
Description:
Microsoft updated this bulletin on May 11, 2004 to advise on the availability of a revised version of the security update for non-English versions of Windows XP (as opposed to Windows XP Service Pack 1). The original update does address the vulnerability in Windows XP for all supported languages; however, the original update was not fully localized. Specifically, optional Jet error strings were only being offered in English on Windows XP. This issue does not affect other operating systems. If you have previously applied the security update for other operating systems, including Windows XP Service Pack 1, you need not take any additional action.

Vulnerability in Windows Media Services Could Allow a Denial of Service (832359)
Update Type:
Security Update
Severity:
Moderate
Date:
2005-02-19
Description:
A vulnerability exists because of the way that Windows Media Station Service and Windows Media Monitor Service, components of Windows Media Services, handle TCP/IP connections. If a remote user were to send a specially-crafted sequence of TCP/IP packets to the listening port of either of these services, the service could stop responding to requests and no additional connections could be made. The service must be restarted to regain its functionality.

Vulnerability in the Windows Internet Naming Service (WINS) Could Allow Code Execution (830352)
Update Type:
Security Update
Severity:
Important
Date:
2005-02-19
Description:
A security vulnerability exists in the Windows Internet Naming Service (WINS). This vulnerability exists because of the method that WINS uses to validate the length of specially-crafted packets. On Windows Server 2003 this vulnerability could allow an attacker who sent a series of specially-crafted packets to a WINS server to cause the service to fail. Most likely, this could cause a denial of service, and the service would have to be manually restarted to restore functionality.
