This update changes the Cache.dns file that is included with Windows 2000 SP4. However, users who installed a previous version of Windows before they installed SP4 must manually update the Cache.dns file.

Memory Corruption May Occur When DNS Resource Record Pointer Determines If a Host Record Can Be Added to a Packet
The code that determines if a host (A) record can be added to a packet uses a signed integer comparison instead of an unsigned integer comparison. In some situations, this may produce an incorrect result. An incorrect result may lead to memory corruption.
