Available for download now from its Web site the patch fixes access problems found by students at Worcester Polytechnic Institute that would allow end-user hard drives to be wiped; a variation on the same theme found by an MIT student; and a bug found by a University of Maryland student, where users running Windows NT 4.0 with Service Pack 1 or 2 without firewalls could lose data.

On the same page, Microsoft also provides information about the nature of the bugs.
