General Information

Executive Summary:

This update resolves several newly-discovered, privately-reported and public 
vulnerabilities. Each vulnerability is documented in this bulletin in its own 
“Vulnerability Details” section. 

An attacker who successfully exploited the most severe of these vulnerabilities 
could take complete control of an affected system. An attacker could then 
install programs; view, change, or delete data; or create new accounts with 
full user rights. However, an attacker who successfully exploited the most 
severe of these vulnerabilities would most likely cause the affected system to 
stop responding.

We recommend that customers apply the update immediately.

This assessment is based on the types of systems that are affected by the 
vulnerability, their typical deployment patterns, and the effect that exploiting 
the vulnerability would have on them.

Note The severity ratings for non x86 operating system versions map to the x86 
operating systems versions as follows:

• The Microsoft Windows XP 64-Bit Edition Service Pack 1 (Itanium) severity rating 
is the same as Windows XP Service Pack 1 severity rating.
 
• The Microsoft Windows XP 64-Bit Edition Version 2003 (Itanium) severity rating 
is the same as Windows XP Service Pack 1 severity rating.
 
• The Microsoft Windows Server 2003 for Itanium-based Systems severity rating is 
the same as Windows Server 2003 severity rating.

Acknowledgments

Microsoft thanks the following for working with us to help protect customers:

• Song Liu, Hongzhen Zhou, and Neel Mehta of ISS X-Force for reporting the IP Validation Vulnerability 
  (CAN-2005-0048).
 
• Fernando Gont of Argentina's Universidad Tecnologica Nacional/Facultad Regional Haedo, for working with 
  us responsibly on the ICMP Connection Reset Vulnerability (CAN-2004-0790) and the ICMP Path MTU 
  Vulnerability (CAN-2004-1060). 
 
• Qualys for reporting the ICMP Path MTU Vulnerability (CAN-2004-1060). 
 


Obtaining Other Security Updates:

Updates for other security issues are available from the following locations:

• Security updates are available from the Microsoft Download Center. You can find them most easily by doing
  a keyword search for "security_patch."

• Updates for consumer platforms are available from the Windows Update Web site.


Support: 

• Customers in the U.S. and Canada can receive technical support from Microsoft Product Support Services at
  1-866-PCSAFETY. There is no charge for support calls that are associated with security updates.

• International customers can receive support from their local Microsoft subsidiaries. There is no charge
  for support that is associated with security updates. For more information about how to contact Microsoft
  for support issues, visit the International Support Web site.

Security Resources: 

• The Microsoft TechNet Security Web site provides additional information about security in Microsoft
  products.

• Microsoft Software Update Services

• Microsoft Baseline Security Analyzer (MBSA)

• Windows Update

• Windows Update Catalog: For more information about the Windows Update Catalog, see Microsoft Knowledge Base Article 323166.

• Office Update
Software Update Services:

By using Microsoft Software Update Services (SUS), administrators can quickly and reliably deploy the latest
critical updates and security updates to Windows 2000 and Windows Server 2003-based servers, and to desktop
systems that are running Windows 2000 Professional or Windows XP Professional.

For more information about how to deploy this security update with Software Update Services, visit the
Software Update Services Web site.

Systems Management Server:

Microsoft Systems Management Server (SMS) delivers a highly-configurable enterprise solution for managing
updates. By using SMS, administrators can identify Windows-based systems that require security updates and
to perform controlled deployment of these updates throughout the enterprise with minimal disruption to end
users. For more information about how administrators can use SMS 2003 to deploy security updates, visit the
SMS 2003 Security Patch Management Web site. SMS 2.0 users can also use Software Updates Service Feature Pack
to help deploy security updates. For information about SMS, visit the SMS Web site.

Note SMS uses the Microsoft Baseline Security Analyzer and the Microsoft Office Detection Tool to
provide broad support for security bulletin update detection and deployment. Some software updates may not
be detected by these tools. Administrators can use the inventory capabilities of the SMS in these cases to
target updates to specific systems. For more information about this procedure, see the following Web site.
Some security updates require administrative rights following a restart of the system. Administrators can
use the Elevated Rights Deployment Tool (available in the SMS 2003 Administration Feature Pack and in the
SMS 2.0 Administration Feature Pack) to install these updates.
