  Microsoft patch freezes some systems
Time: 00:00 EST/05:00 GMT | News Source: News.com | Posted By: Todd Richardson

A patch for a security flaw that affects Microsoft's Web server software running on Windows 2000 has caused system freezes for some customers, the company said Thursday. The company became aware of the problem after several customers who applied the patch, released Monday, complained that their updated Windows 2000 system wouldn't run, said Iain Mulholland, program manager for the Microsoft Security Response Center.

"We would have probably caught it if we had a longer testing period," he said. But he stressed that because an attacker had already used the vulnerability to compromise a customer's system, Microsoft had rushed to send the patch out.
