Issue:
======
On Thursday 18 October 2001, Microsoft issued Security Bulletin
MS01-052, discussing a security vulnerability affecting Windows NT
4.0 and Windows 2000 terminal servers. Shortly after the patch was
released, we received reports of problems with the patch from
customers through Product Support Services. We immediately removed
both the Windows NT 4.0 and Windows 2000 versions while we
investigated the issue further. Because the patches were only
available for a few hours, only a small number of customers had
downloaded them.
We have determined that the Windows 2000 patch contains an error
which could lead to instability on systems on which it has been
installed. Teams are working around the clock to
rebuild that patch. As soon as a new patch is available, a
revised bulletin will be posted and announced.
The Windows NT 4.0 patch is error-free, and it has been reposted
to the download site. Information on obtaining this patch
can be found in the Security Bulletin at:
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/ms01-052.asp
The issue is a result of a human error in the patch building process.
Microsoft deeply apologizes for any problems this has caused.
We assure you that a thorough investigation is being conducted
into the cause of this problem and aggressive steps are being
taken to prevent it from happening again.
Remediation:
======
Customers who are experiencing problems as a result of the
Windows 2000 patch should uninstall the patch through
Add/Remove Programs in the Control Panel.
Customers who are unable to remove the patch through
Add/Remove Programs should contact Microsoft Product
Support Services for assistance.
There is no charge for support calls associated with
security patches. Information on contacting Microsoft
Product Support Services can be found at:
