Windows XP SP2 - Windows Firewall update available
Microsoft has released a new update. This update applies to Microsoft Windows XP Service Pack 2 (SP2) or Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1 (SP1). This patch fixes a condition where an exception may not show up in the Windows Firewall GUI, if this exception is created by modifying the registry directly. In order to do this, administrative priveleges are required on the box. The danger in this flaw is that a hacker could open a backdoor that would not be shown in the GUI Firewall ruleset.
