Microsoft Issues Patch, Squashes Two Security Bugs

Microsoft has released a patch which corrects two securituy vulnerabilities in Windows NT 4.0 and Windows 2000. According to Microsoft, "Windows NT 4.0 and Windows 2000 implement the CIFS Computer Browser protocol. Two vulnerabilities exist because of the inability of administrators to limit whether Master Browsers respond to certain frames." Microsoft will not issue patches for Windows 9x or NT 4.0 Terminal Server, because they are rarely used as Master Browsers.
