This vulnerability appears to affect only WindowsNT-based OS's.

Noel,

I'm sorry but that is totally incorrect. :-)

WU does indeed have 911565 for Win Me since I have installed it. I've cut
and pasted the details below.

Security Update for Windows Media Player 9 for Windows 98 and Windows ME
(KB911565) ..
Download size: 1.9 MB, 1 minute
A security issue has been identified that could allow an attacker to
remotely compromise your Windows-based system using Windows Media Player
and gain control over it. You can help protect your computer by installing
this update from Microsoft. After you install this item, you may have to
restart your computer. Read more...

Likewise I see nowhere in
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sec.../MS06-005.mspx anything
about the patch not yet being available instead I see it stated in the FAQ
"How does the extended support for Windows 98, Windows 98 Second Edition,
and Windows Millennium Edition affect the release of security updates for
these operating systems?

snip
Critical security updates for this platform are available and are provided
as part of this security bulletin and can be downloaded only from the

I got it, when I ran my Windows Update, by pure incidence, I might add, Noel
and it downloaded and installed fine.
Just wasn't sure whether I had missed it before, or if it was recent, which
it was, obviously.

Harry.

LOL!
While I was composing that note, the VPC downloaded the update via
AutoUpdates!
Prior to installation, I went back to WU, and scanned again.....and the file
is now there!
