Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 Patch: Registry Permissio Update

This update eliminates the "Registry Permissions" vulnerabilities in Windows NT� 4.0. The current default permissions in certain registry keys are set to levels that are inappropriately permissive, which could allow a malicious user to gain unauthorized access to the network devices on an affected computer. This update eliminates three security vulnerabilities in Windows NT 4.0 by resetting the default permission values to appropriate levels. Download now to correct the permission values on the affected registry keys.

The three registry keys that have inappropriate default permissions are:

• SNMP Management
• RAS Administration
• MTS Package Administration
