Security Bulletin MS05-050 re-released
by Donna Buenaventura Dec 13, 2005 6:33PM PST

Microsoft revised Security Bulletin MS05-050

For additional information, see "Why did Microsoft update this bulletin on November 9, 2005." in "Frequently asked questions (FAQ) related to this security update" section.
