And you should install SP2 on all XP machines ASAP.  uPnP is no longer
available to the network with SP2.  Also note, MS changed the way all
RPC calls (not Broker) work in SP2 so only authenticated users can
access remote resources.  (You used to be able to enumerate the target
system to see what was available - that's no longer the case, you have
to authenticate first.)

SP2's been out for awhile, there's no reason why you shouldn't run it.
It's like running an unpatched 2.4 *nix box - why?!?

Technical note - the last vunerablitiy did affect SP2 but you have to
read the mitigating fators to understand that only locally logged-in
authenticated users have a chance of escilating their privelages.

Incidentally, port 5000 is also used by windows Universal PnP, which 
is an XP service open by default (at least on earlier XPs). It's had 
its share of vulnerabilities. It can be shut down (by third party apps 
last time I looked, before the current patched XP).
