Oooops! - I lied!
The vuulnerability IS CRITICAL for Win9x systems - but MS have not yet
released a patch, AFAIK

Noel,

I'm sorry but that is totally incorrect. :-)

WU does indeed have 911565 for Win Me since I have installed it. I've cut
and pasted the details below.

Security Update for Windows Media Player 9 for Windows 98 and Windows ME
(KB911565) ..
Download size: 1.9 MB, < 1 minute
A security issue has been identified that could allow an attacker to
remotely compromise your Windows-based system using Windows Media Player
and gain control over it. You can help protect your computer by installing
this update from Microsoft. After you install this item, you may have to
restart your computer. Read more...

Likewise I see nowhere in
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/MS06-005.mspx anything
about the patch not yet being available instead I see it stated in the FAQ
"How does the extended support for Windows 98, Windows 98 Second Edition,
and Windows Millennium Edition affect the release of security updates for
these operating systems?

<snip>
Critical security updates for this platform are available and are provided
as part of this security bulletin and can be downloaded only from the
Windows Update Web site. For more information about severity ratings,
visit the following Web site."

I got it, when I ran my Windows Update, by pure incidence, I might add, Noel
and it downloaded and installed fine.
Just wasn't sure whether I had missed it before, or if it was recent, which
it was, obviously.

LOL!
While I was composing that note, the VPC downloaded the update via
AutoUpdates!
Prior to installation, I went back to WU, and scanned again.....and the file
is now there!

Noel,

I picked up the patch about 1½ hours ago, just around the time Harry
started this thread.

I'm still not clear though as to what is confusing about the statement
"Critical security updates for this platform are available and are
provided
as part of this security bulletin and can be downloaded only from the
Windows Update Web site. For more information about severity ratings,
visit the following Web site" contained in the MS06-005 FAQ.

Since to my simple mind this means that a critical security update for
this platform (Win 9x) is available from the |WU site as indeed it is.
:-)

> What fun! <g>

Indeed!"

read my quote , Mike - it says" updates for these platforms may not be
available
concurrently with the other security updates provided as part of this
security bulletin. They will be made available as soon as possible following
the release."

AFAICT, they had not got as far as WU when I responded - so I didn't think
to look in the WUC, as the implication was that they would not be available
there prior to release at WU.

[Mike M]

Yes. I agree. The article is worded in such a way that it covers both
cases, that is whether a patch is available or not. Since I knew that one
was available for Win 9x that is how I read it, for yourself, not seeing
the patch, the converse was true. :-)

Cheers,

I installed that one on the 15th via
http://download.windowsupdate.com/msdownload/update/v3-19990518/cabpool/WindowsMedia9-KB911565-Win9x-x86-ENU_8d1eeee2307201b8c45b3092eaa33f2.exe -
so I must have begun the update in WU then cancelled it in order to get the
url in Windows Update.log - in order to download for offline installation.
