When the MSRC learned of the attacks on December 27, 2005, we mobilized under what we call the Software Security 
Incident Response Process (SSIRP) to analyze the attack, assess its scope and determine and the appropriate guidance 
for customers, as well as to engage with anti-virus partners and law enforcement.  

Based on that process, we have finished development of a security update to fix the vulnerability and are testing it to 
ensure quality and application compatibility.  Our goal is to release the update on Tuesday, January 10, 2006, as part 
of the regular, monthly security update release cycle, although quality is the gating factor.  Customers will be able 
to get the update through all the usual deployment tools: Microsoft Update, Windows Update, Automatic Update, the 
Download Center and Windows Server Update Services.
