Microsoft Security Bulletin (MS00-006) Update (March 31) - This patch eliminates two unrelated vulnerabilities in Microsoft Index Server. The first is the "Malformed Hit-Highlighting Argument" vulnerability which allowed any file on the system to be read. The second vulnerability involves the error message that is returned when a user requests a non-existent Internet Data Query (.idq) file which reveals the physical path to the web directory that was contained in the request. Microsoft FAQ on this issue available here.
