Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) Related to This Security Update
Why was this bulletin revised on March 8, 2011?
Microsoft clarified the Affected Software to include Windows 7 for 32-bit Systems Service Pack 1, Windows 7 for x64-based Systems Service Pack 1, Windows Server 2008 R2 for x64-based Systems Service Pack 1, and Windows Server 2008 R2 for Itanium-based Systems Service Pack 1.
Customers of the original release version of Windows 7 for 32-bit Systems, Windows 7 for x64-based Systems, Windows Server 2008 R2 for x64-based Systems, and Windows Server 2008 R2 for Itanium-based Systems, who have already applied this security update do not need to take any action. Customers who have updated these operating systems with the corresponding Service Pack 1 need to apply this security update.
I have IIS installed but have not enabled FTP. Do I need to apply this update?
This vulnerability only affects systems on which the listed versions of FTP Service is enabled. If an affected version of FTP Service is installed but not enabled, the update will still be offered through automatic updating.
How can I verify which version of the FTP Service is installed on my system?
On Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008, if ftpsvc.dll exists in the %SystemRoot%\system32\inetsrv directory, then the system contains a version of FTP Service affected by this vulnerability (Microsoft FTP Service 7.0 or Microsoft FTP Service 7.5). If the system contains ftpsvc2.dll in this directory, that indicates the presence of Microsoft FTP Service 6.0 on the system, which is not affected by this vulnerability.
Is my system affected by this vulnerability if the FTP Service is set up to disable anonymous authentication?
Yes. This vulnerability occurs before authentication, so a malicious client can compromise a vulnerable system even if it is configured to not allow anonymous authentication.
Where are the file information details?
Refer to the reference tables in the Security Update Deployment section for the location of the file information details.
I am using an older release of the software discussed in this security bulletin. What should I do?
