IIS Server Security >> MS03-040 patch

by Chris P » Thu, 09 Oct 2003 08:25:21 GMT

I used MBSA on IIS 5 web Internet server and I've got the
report that MS03-040 is not installed. I never use IE for
Internet browsing on this server. Do I still need to
install it?

Notes: Reply to newsgroup please.

Thank you,

IIS Server Security >> MS03-040 patch

I suggest you check this out:
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/treeview/default.asp?url=/technet/security/bulletin/ms03-040.asp
You'll need to evaluate this yourself, depending on what your current and
present intentions for that server are.

Maybe best to install it just in case (if you can afford downtime) when you
install the next critical patch. You may not be the admin of this machine
forever. What if the next admin does browse the 'net?

Cheers
Ken

Hello,
Yesterday I have installed the KB886903 patch for .NET framework 1.1 and
after restart the server (Windows 2000 Srv.) the IIS doesn serve any of
the asp.net applications that are installed. Always return 404 error of
"element not found". I tryed to do everything but with no results, so I have
unistalled the patch and all the applications works again.

If anybody knows something about this, please tell.
Thanks.
