Today, 30 July 2004 Microsoft is releasing one security bulletin for newly discovered vulnerabilities in Microsoft Windows.



- One Microsoft Security Bulletins affecting Microsoft Windows with a maximum severity of Critical, MS04-025.



The summary for this new bulletin may be found at the following page:

- http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/ms04-jul.mspx



Customers are advised to review the information in the bulletins, test and deploy the updates immediately in their environments, if applicable.



VERY IMPORTANT: MS04-025 contains two different fixes. These are distinguished by their association with Knowledge Base (KB) article numbers: 867801 and 871260.



The vast majority of customers in need of this update should apply the fix associated with KB article 867801. This is available as always from both Windows Update and the Download Center.



The very few of our customers who have applied an IE Hotfix since the release of MS04-004 should not apply this update. Rather, they need to apply the update with KB article 871260. This version of the update is available only in the Download Center and can be reached from KB article 871260.



These customers should review KB Article 871260 for more detailed information including installation instructions..



For more detailed information on this, please review the security bulletin MS04-025 and KB articles 867801 and 871260.



This bulletin will be discussed during the August Security Bulletins webcast:

Thanks!
The next update M$ releases should just power down the computer. That's the only way Windows can be secure.

That's not true, ie, WOL.

I believe NT OS received certification as secured with a tiny stipulation--when it is on non-networked machine.

It's my last day at work at this lab and there is 30 minutes until I leave. I think I'll pretend this thread never existed.

...but thanks for the heads up.
