From secnotif@MICROSOFT.COM Fri Dec 3 16:19:52 1999 From: Microsoft Product Security Resent-From: mea culpa To: MICROSOFT_SECURITY@ANNOUNCE.MICROSOFT.COM Resent-To: jericho@attrition.org Date: Tue, 30 Nov 1999 14:48:55 -0800 Subject: Corrected URL in Security Bulletin MS99-052 The following is a Security Bulletin from the Microsoft Product Security Notification Service. Please do not reply to this message, as it was sent from an unattended mailbox. ******************************** Yesterday, we released Microsoft Security Bulletin MS99-052, discussing the "Legacy Credential Caching" vulnerability in Windows 95 and 98. The bulletin provided URLs from which to download the patch. However, due to a human error, the patch that was loaded onto the download site was not the correct patch. Instead, a copy of the previously-released patch for the "File Access URL" vulnerability propagated to the URLs. (For more information on the "File Access URL" vulnerability, see http://www.microsoft.com/Security/Bulletins/ms99-049.asp). We have updated the bulletin, at http://www.microsoft.com/Security/Bulletins/ms99-052.asp, and ensured that the correct URL information is now provided there. We have no reports of any customers suffering ill effects from installing the "File Access URL" patch. (In fact, there's no reason not to install it, as it was designed for Windows 95 and 98 and is a recommended patch). However, we suggest that customers who installed it visit the updated bulletin and ensure that they also install the "Legacy Credential Caching" patch as well. We are very sorry for any inconvenience caused by this error, and would like to thank the customers who alerted us to the problem. Sincerely, The Microsoft Security Response Team ******************************************************************* You have received this e-mail bulletin as a result of your registration to the Microsoft Product Security Notification Service.
