Hi again;

Word from Redmond:

Microsoft has released additional information – The problem is scheduled to be addressed on the normal patch cycle (generally the first Tuesday of every month), which in this case is 10/January/2006. So, get your Automatic Updates configured if you haven’t already.

Additionally, new information clarifying the vulnerable operating system versions has surfaced.

However, I still recommend installing Ilfak’s “unofficial” hotfix (v1.4) for this problem for the next week of operation.
Then, once the fix has been deployed, uninstall Ilfak’s fix, reboot, then pull down and install the Microsoft fix, reboot.
Then use Ilfak’s vulnerability checking tool to verify that the fix from Microsoft resolved the problem.
