Title: Microsoft Security Bulletin Re-Releases, April 2005
Issued: April 12, 2005
********************************************************************
Summary
=======
The following bulletins have undergone a major revision increment.
Please see the appropriate bulletin for more details.
* MS05-002
* MS05-009
Bulletin Information:
=====================
* MS05-002
- http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/MS05-002.mspx
- Reason for re-release: After the release of the MS05-002
security bulletin, Microsoft became aware of an issue affecting
customers deploying the Windows 98, 98SE and ME security update.
In most cases, the issue caused machines to unexpectedly
restart. Microsoft has investigated this issue and has made
available revised security updates for these platforms. These
revised security updates are available from Windows Update and
the Microsoft Download Center. Customers who have not yet
applied the original version of these updates should visit
Windows Update to receive the revised updates. Customers who
have already applied the original Windows 98, 98SE and ME
security update are advised to install the current revision of
the update from Windows Update.

* MS05-009
- http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/MS05-009.mspx
- Reason for re-release: Subsequent to the release of this
bulletin, it was determined that the update for Windows
Messenger version 4.7.0.2009 (when running on Windows XP
Service Pack 1) was failing to install when distributed via SMS
or AutoUpdate. The updated package corrects this behavior.
