Overview
This update resolves the "Multiple LPC and LPC Ports" security vulnerability in Windows NT® 4.0. Local Procedure Call (LPC) is a message-passing service provided by Windows NT 4.0. LPC ports are channels within LPC that allow threads (a series of messages that have been posted as replies to each other) within a communication process to coordinate LPC requests. Windows NT 4.0 is unable to handle unexpected LPCs properly. If a malicious user makes process requests in an invalid order, or uses invalid parameters, it could cause your computer to fail or permit a malicious user to impersonate your privileges and eavesdrop. Download now to prevent a malicious user from causing your computer to fail, impersonating your privileges, or causing the client or server to fail by posing as the client or server and sending random data.
