Re: URGENT MICROSOFT SECURITY ANNOUNCEMENT

[Eric <ews () tellurian net>]

Patch has not been updated or re-released.  The NT4 patch should have a 
file size of around 242,616.  Try expanding the hotfix with the /x 
switch.  If it doesn't expand, you have a corrupted download - could be 
something in a caching proxy server between you and the download server.

The specific file in the patch is idq.dll - dated 5-25-2001 - with a file 
version of 5.00.1781.3

The NT4 post SP6a Security Rollup Package also contains the fix - the 
idq.dll has been version incremented - but it is the same file - no 
additional changes (version number incremented to aid in the installation 
process to ensure that it gets on the box.)  The version number of the file 
in the SRP is 5.00.1782.4
