SUMMARY

Microsoft has released a rollup package for Internet Information Services (IIS) 5.0 and Internet Information Server (IIS) 4.0 that includes the functionality from all security patches released to date for IIS 5.0, and all patches released for IIS 4.0 since Windows NT 4.0 Service Pack 5.

This article provides a timeline and the fixes included with each release.

MORE INFORMATION

NOTE: These patches do not include fixes for vulnerabilities involving non-IIS products, such as the Front Page Server Extensions and Index Server, even though these products are closely associated with IIS and typically installed on IIS servers. There is, however, one exception for the August 15, 2001 release. The fix for the vulnerability affecting Index Server which is discussed in Microsoft Security Bulletin MS01-033 is included in this patch because of the seriousness of the issue for IIS servers. At the time this article was written, the Microsoft Security Bulletins that discuss these vulnerabilities are as follows:

Microsoft Security Bulletin MS01-043

Microsoft Security Bulletin MS01-025

Microsoft Security Bulletin MS00-084

Microsoft Security Bulletin MS00-006

NOTE: The fixes for the following vulnerabilities that affect IIS 4.0 are not included in the patch because they require administrative action instead of a software change. Administrators should ensure that in addition to applying this patch, they also take the administrative action discussed in the following bulletins:

Microsoft Security Bulletin MS00-028

Microsoft Security Bulletin MS00-025

Microsoft Security Bulletin MS99-025 (which discusses the same issue as Microsoft Security Bulletin MS98-004)
