MSKB828026 - New patch available with no Security Bulletin

From: Russ (Russ.CooperRC.ON.CA)
Date: Sat Oct 04 2003 - 07:15:11 CDT

Subscribers informed me through the night that SUS has downloaded a new patch for which no MS Security Bulletin is associated. The patch is;

Security Patch for Windows Media Player Script Commands
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;828026

and is referenced within MS03-040;

"In addition to applying this security patch it is recommended that users also install the Windows Media Player update referenced in Knowledge Base Article 828026. This update is available from Windows Update as well as the Microsoft Download Center for all supported versions of Windows Media Player. While not a security patch, this update contains a change to the behavior of Windows Media Player's ability to launch URLs to help protect against DHTML behavior based attacks. Specifically, it restricts Windows Media Player's ability to launch URLs in the local computer zone from other zones."

Interesting that the KB title starts with "Security Patch" but the Bulletin says its not a "Security Patch".

Cheers,
