Guys,

I have a question regarding IIS 5.0 running on win2k server sp2. (frontpage
extensions not installed)

My Web Admin is a bit concerned because he has been trying to delete
htimage.exe and imagemap.exe but stubborn windows file protection continues
to replace it. He feels that the following vulnerabilities
(http://online.securityfocus.com/bid/964
<http://online.securityfocus.com/bid/964> )
 and
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/treeview/default.asp?url=/technet/security/
bulletin/fq00-028.asp
<http://www.microsoft.com/technet/treeview/default.asp?url=/technet/security
/bulletin/fq00-028.asp> are still present, even though they are not
directly mentioned in the security bulletin.(given that the bulletin is over
2 years old)

Is his concern warranted? Or has one of the service packs fixed this issue?
I am looking for some written proof pointing to the fact that this
vulnerability doesn't exists anymore. Thanks.
