A glitch in Microsoft's Windows Update automated patching service caused a security fix that was released last month to be delivered to computer users on Tuesday, the same day Microsoft proclaimed December would be a patch-free month. The software patch fixes a serious vulnerability in a set of Web site management tools called FrontPage Server Extensions, which are part of Microsoft's Windows 2000, Windows XP and Office XP software, according to Microsoft Security Bulletin MS03-051 released Nov. 11. Exploiting the flaw could allow an attacker to gain control over a user's PC, Microsoft said. |

| Additionally, the bullein incorrectly states that Win2k SP4 is not vulnerable to any of the vulnerabilities. This is not the case. FPSE2002/STS 2002 ARE vulnerable without the patch. Watch the bulletin change within a few days to reflect this. |
