NT4.0 too flawed to fix - official By John Leyden Posted: 27/03/2003 at 17:42 GMT ... Although a denial of service risk exists in an "important" security vulnerability, publicised yesterday affecting NT 4.0, Redmond tells users not to expect a patch for that operating system anytime soon. ... In a surprisingly candid admission, the company states that fixing NT4.0 is simply too difficult. "The architectural limitations of Windows NT 4.0 do not support the changes that would be required to remove this vulnerability," Microsoft says. "Windows NT 4.0 users are strongly encouraged to employ the workaround discussed in the FAQ in the bulletin, which is to protect the NT 4.0 system with a firewall that blocks Port 135." -- Raju -- Raj Mathur [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://kandalaya.org/ It is the mind that moves ================================================ To unsubscribe, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe in subject header.
