[Full-Disclosure] Potential Microsoft PCT worm (MS04-011)

["Alerta Redsegura" <alerta@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

# start snip

- Microsoft ( ... ) continues to urge all customers to immediately install
the MS4-011 update ( ...)

- Customers who are still evaluating and testing MS04-011 should immediately
implement the workaround steps detailed for the PCT/SSL vulnerability
detailed in the MS04-011.  In addition, Microsoft has published a knowledge
base article KB187498 at
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;187498 which
provides additional details on SSL and how to disable PCT without applying
MS04-011.

"Evaluating and testing" ?

Is it so difficult for Microsoft to acknowledge that MS04-11 does cause some
Windows 2003 and Win2K servers to become unstable, to the point that
reinstalling Windows is sometimes necessary?

Is there going to be an update to the patch?
