...Contains Memory Leak
The NNTP (Network News Transport Protocol) service in Windows NT 4.0 and Windows 2000 contains a memory leak in a routine that processes news postings. Each time such a posting is processed that contains a particular construction, the memory leak causes a small amount of memory to no longer be available for use. If an attacker sent a large number of posts, the server memory could be depleted to the point at which normal service would be disrupted. An affected server could be restored to normal service by rebooting.
A patch is available to fix this vulnerability. Please read the Security Bulletin for information on obtaining this patch.

His suspicions grew when the alias george.w.bush@whitehouse.gov suddenly flashed on his screen along with an invitation to accept an attached file called choke.exe. Unlike his friend, who obviously had been bitten by a virus, Bates knew better than to accept it.

Symantec has released a new virus definitions update for Norton Antivirus.
Code Red claimed two major victims this week, as Microsoft confirmed that some servers running its MSN Hotmail service were infected with a version of the worm and express-shipping giant Federal Express said the worm interfered with some deliveries Wednesday.
Microsoft spokesman Jim Desler said Thursday that some Hotmail servers were brought offline to deal with the problem and that service was not disrupted. About 110 million people have accounts with the free Web-based e-mail service, according to Microsoft.
