The patch that Microsoft hastily created to fix a "zero day" vulnerability
can lock up servers, Microsoft said on March 18. So called 'zero day"
vulnerabilities, are flaws used in attacks that have not been seen before
by security experts, anti-virus companies, or software providers. These
type of vulnerabilities are of concern, since they can spread unchecked,
until the software maker can create a patch. Microsoft's patch for the
Internet Information System 5.0 running on Windows 2000 is incompatible
with 12 other software fixes for the operating system. Microsoft suggests
that users contact its Product Support Services before applying the patch.
