Windows Server 2003 gets first patch
ENT News | at | by Mike
Windows Server 2003, the operating system Microsoft delayed for a complete security code review, got its first formal patch from Microsoft last week. But the underlying vulnerability isn't as serious for the new server operating system as it is for the raft of other Microsoft operating systems that are affected.
Microsoft put out bulletin MS03-023 on Wednesday evening and rated the patch a critical fix for organizations using Windows 98, Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000, Windows XP and Windows Me. A buffer overrun in Windows' HTML converter could allow code execution.
