Microsoft Security Bulletin MS04-014:
Vulnerability in the Microsoft Jet Database Engine Could Allow Code
Execution (837001)
Bulletin URL:
<http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/MS04-014.mspx>
Reason for Revision: Microsoft has released a revised version of the
Windows XP security update that contains the correctly localized
optional Jet error strings
Version Number: 2.0
Issued Date: Tuesday, April 13, 2004
Revision Date: Tuesday, May 11, 2004
Impact of Vulnerability: Remote Code Execution
Maximum Severity Rating: Important
Patch(es) Replaced: None
Caveats: None
Executive Summary:
------------------
Microsoft updated this bulletin on May 11, 2004 to advise on the
availability of a revised version of the security update for non-English
versions of Windows XP (as opposed to Windows XP Service Pack 1). The
original update does address the vulnerability in Windows XP for all
supported languages; however, the original update was not fully
localized. Specifically, optional Jet error strings were only being
offered in English on Windows XP. This issue does not affect other
operating systems. If you have previously applied the security update
for other operating systems, including Windows XP Service Pack 1, you
need not take any additional action.
If you have previously applied the security update for non-English
versions of Windows XP (as opposed to Windows XP Service Pack 1), you
need not take any additional action as you are already protected from
this vulnerability. However, if you want to have the Jet optional text
error information in the same language as your Windows XP installation,
you will need to remove the original security update MS04-014 (837001)
following the Removal Information procedure located in this document and
install the revised version. Once 837001 is uninstalled, revisiting
Windows Update will result in the revised MS04-014 security update for
Windows XP being re-offered with the correct, localized, optional text
error strings.
The following files, on non-English systems only, were updated as part
of this update: mswstr10.dll and msjint40.dll. You may see other files
with new Date and Time information from the original release - these
files remain unchanged, only the 2 files above have been updated.
A buffer overrun vulnerability exists in the Microsoft Jet Database
Engine (Jet) that could allow remote code execution. An attacker who
successfully exploited this vulnerability could take complete control of
an affected system, including installing programs; viewing, changing, or
deleting data; or creating new accounts that have full privileges.
