Why has Microsoft reissued this bulletin?
Subsequent to issuing this security bulletin, Microsoft identified a problem with the security patch which specifically affects systems which have the Remote Access Service (RAS) enabled on them. This causes RAS to fail when the system is rebooted after applying the patch. It does not affect other non-RAS functions, nor is there a problem with the actual fix for the security vulnerability itself. Microsoft has developed a fix for this issue and is re-releasing this bulletin to reflect the new updated patch that corrects the RAS problem.

Why has Microsoft reissued this bulletin? Microsoft first issued this bulletin on March 17, 2003. At that time, Microsoft was aware of a publicly available exploit that was being targeted against Windows 2000 servers running IIS. The underlying vulnerability was in a core operating system component, ntdll.dll, but WebDAV was being used as the attack vector. Microsoft responded and issued this bulletin and a patch to protect Windows 2000 customers. Microsoft continued to investigate the issue and determined that the underlying vulnerability in ntdll.dll also existed in Windows NT 4.0. Subsequent to this bulletin first being issued, Microsoft updated the bulletin to provide a fix for the underlying vulnerability in Windows NT 4.0. Further investigations identified that the underlying vulnerability in ntdll.dll also exists in Windows XP and Microsoft has now released a Windows XP patch with this bulletin.
WebDAV is not supported in Windows NT 4.0 and therefore could not be used as an attack vector, and both Windows NT 4.0 and Windows XP do not install IIS by default. However Windows NT 4.0 and Windows XP are still vulnerable to other attacks, in particular in cases where an attacker could log on interactively to the system.
V2.0 (April 23, 2003): Updated to include details of NT 4.0 patch. V3.0 (May 28, 2003): Updated to include details of Windows XP patch. V3.1 (May 28, 2003): Updated to include correct Windows NT 4.0 and Windows XP verification keys. V3.2 (May 28, 2003): Updated frequently asked questions section regarding IIS 5.1 Released 02/26/03
