    Maximum Severity Rating: Critical

    Recommendation: Customers should apply the update immediately

    Caveats: Starting February 10, 2005, the MSN Messenger service will notify customers running a vulnerable version of MSN Messenger that there is an upgrade available. Customers that have accepted this upgrade and have applied the update will be protected from this vulnerability. Customers that have not accepted this upgrade may not be allowed to connect to the MSN Messenger service with a vulnerable version of the client. Clients may be upgraded immediately by installing the update available at the download location provided in the “Affected Software” section below.

    The 828026 update changes the way that Windows Media Player handles URL script commands that are embedded in a stream. Specifically, the update modifies Windows Media Player to recognize three new registry values that permit a user or an administrator to control the scenarios where the player will run URL script commands that are embedded in a stream.
