Microsoft Corporation has released the following revised security bulletin
concerning a vulnerability in Microsoft Data Access Components (MDAC) that
may allow unauthorised Internet clients to gain privileged access to
systems running Microsoft Internet Information Server (IIS).  The bulletin
was revised to address the need to remove sample files for the Remote Data
Service (RDS) component of MDAC and to clarify that MDAC 2.0 is affected
even if deployed as a clean installation:
