  Patch issued for Windows NT flaw
Time: 04:31 EST/09:31 GMT | News Source: News.com | Posted By: Jonathan Tigner

Microsoft on Thursday released an update for Windows NT that fixes the critical vulnerability that allowed an intruder to sneak onto a military server running Windows 2000.

The software giant issued the patch for Windows 2000 in less than a week after learning of the problem, but decided to do its standard analysis to check whether the rest of its operating systems were vulnerable. The advisory and software patch for Windows NT are the result of the five-week process, said Stephen Toulouse, program manager for Microsoft's security response center.

"The reason we really didn't have an NT fix is because we had to ship the bulletin faster than we normally do," Toulouse said. "We turned around the critical Windows 2000 fix in five or six days. Once we got the Windows 2000 fix out, we resumed our process."
