According to the SUS server, there are 21 "updates" to previously

Update and SUS returned 11 critical updates.

First box I tried only had one. An update to MS03-043:

V2.1 November 13, 2003: Bulletin updated to reflect correct file versions for Windows XP update.

V2.2 November 14, 2003: Subsequent to the release of this bulletin, it was determined that the update for Windows XP did not properly place the updated file wkssvc.dll into the %systemroot%\system32\dllcache. This problem is unrelated to the security vulnerability discussed in this bulletin. Microsoft recommends that customers who have previously applied the security update reinstall the latest version to insure that their system remains protected in the event that the wkssvc.dll is ever deleted or becomes corrupt. More information on this is available in the FAQ section of this bulletin. Caveats section has been updated to include new information relevant to NT 4.0 clients.

Whoops.
