Does the RPC Attack affect Win 98?
Does the RPC attack affect Win 98?
M$ Security Bulletin: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sec.../MS08-067.mspx The Bulletin states: Customers who require custom support for older releases must contact their Microsoft account team representative, their Technical Account Manager, or the appropriate Microsoft partner representative for custom support options Does this mean M$ is still supporting 98 for people with custom contracts? The bulletin also states in the FAQs" What systems are primarily at risk from the vulnerability? While all workstations and servers are at risk regarding this issue, systems running Microsoft Windows 2000, Windows XP, or Windows Server 2003 are primarily at risk due to the unique characteristics of the vulnerability and affected code path. Does Win 98 share these "unique characteristics?" What is the difference between "all workstations and servers" being at risk but just some being "primarily" at risk because of "unique characteristics." Normally I do not log on and have the browser available, i.e., I can't look at other systems on my local network. Does that leave me safe? |
