Microsoft Security Bulletin (MS00-072) - Microsoft has released a patch that eliminates the "Share Level Password" vulnerability in Windows 95, 98, 98SE, and Me. Microsoft Windows 9x/Me provides a password protection feature referred to as (share level access) for the File and Print Sharing service. However, due to the way the password feature is currently implemented, a file share can be compromised, by a malicious user who used a special client utility, without that user knowing the entire password required to access that share. Microsoft FAQ on this issue available here.
