Microsoft Security Bulletin MS00-027 announces the availability of a patch that eliminates a vulnerability in Microsoft
Windows NT 4.0 and Windows 2000.
What´s the scope of the vulnerability?
This is a denial of service vulnerability. If a Windows NT 4.0 or Windows 2000 server provides scripts for its customers use, it could be possible for a malicious user to use this vulnerability to consume memory on the server, thereby slowing its response or preventing it from providing useful service altogether. The most commonly affected servers would be web servers that are remotely administered in a so-called "headless" configuration.
This vulnerability could not be used to compromise data, run arbitrary code on the server, or to usurp administrative control of it. It would only be exposed under very specific conditions that are not present on all servers. Moreover, coding practices in batch and script files can prevent this vulnerability from manifesting itself on an otherwise-affected server.

Microsoft has posted a Windows 2000 performance tuning white paper for download.
Microsoft Corp. today announced revenue of $5.66 billion for the quarter ended March 31, 2000, a 23 percent increase over $4.60 billion for the same quarter last year. Net income and diluted earnings per share were $2.39 billion and $0.43, a 23 percent increase over the $0.35 diluted earnings per share reported for the corresponding quarter last year.
"OEM revenue was light as demand for business PCs remained slow in the quarter, and we remain guarded about near-term growth," said John Connors, chief financial officer, at Microsoft. "However, PC demand appeared to pick up late in the quarter, and with the launch of Windows 2000, we are excited about the opportunity to help customers migrate to this new generation of platform products."
