Security Update, October 6, 2000

This update resolves the "Simplified Chinese IME State Recognition" security vulnerability in Windows 2000, and is discussed in Microsoft Security Bulletin MS00-069. Download now to help prevent a malicious user from exploiting the Chinese Simplified IME's logon screen to run code, add users to the computer, install or remove system components, add or remove software, or compromise data.

The Input Method Editor (IME) for Chinese Simplified inappropriately exposes functionality when it is used as part of a computer's logon screen.

Note Only the Simplified Chinese version of Windows 2000 is affected by default. If you are running any other language version of Windows 2000, you only need to take action if you installed the Simplified Chinese IME during system setup.

For more information on this vunerability, read Microsoft Security Bulletin MS00-069. (This site is in English.)
