The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Windows 2000 Advanced Server SP4
  • Microsoft Windows 2000 Advanced Server SP3
  • Microsoft Windows 2000 Datacenter Server SP4
  • Microsoft Windows 2000 Datacenter Server SP3
  • Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional SP4
  • Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional SP3
  • Microsoft Windows 2000 Server SP4
  • Microsoft Windows 2000 Server SP3

SYMPTOMS

After you install the revised version of security update MS05-019 that was released on June 14, 2005 or after you install the Update Rollup 1 for Windows 2000 Service Pack 4 (SP4) that was released on June 28, 2005 on a Microsoft Windows 2000-based computer, the following Internet Security Systems (ISS) products stop running and the increased protection provided by these products is disabled:
  • RealSecure Desktop 3.6 with XPU versions ENO, ENP, and ENQ
  • RealSecure Desktop 7.0 with XPU versions ENO, ENP, and ENQ
  • BlackICE Agent for Server 3.6 with XPU versions ENO, ENP, and ENQ
  • BlackICE PC Protection 3.6 with XPU versions CNO, CNP, and CNQ
  • BlackICE Server Protection 3.6 XPU versions CNO, CNP, and CNQ
The affected ISS products generally stop running within one to two minutes after you start the computer.

Note ISS X-Press Updates (XPUs) are signature and driver updates that are required for the most current security protection. The XPUs listed here are significantly older than the current XPU versions. As a precautionary measure, Windows Update will not offer the revised MS05-019 security update to computers that are running these programs until a more recent XPU has been installed. Also, if the following ISS programs are installed, users of the affected computer may not be notified to install the revised version of security update MS05-019. This behavior occurs because the following programs also may contain an affected version of the affected file. However, the following programs are not affected. Therefore, you can manually install the revised version of security update MS05-019 or the Update Rollup 1 for Windows 2000 SP4.
  • Server Sensor 7.0
  • Server Sensor 7.0 SR 4.1
  • Server Sensor 7.0 XPU versions 20.18 - 20.19, 21.1, 21.3, 22.3 - 22.4, 22.5 - 22.19, 22.20 - 22.37
  • RealSecure Guard 3.6
  • Internet Scanner 7.0
  • Internet Scanner 7.0 SP1
Note This issue does not affect the BlackICE Defender, BlackICE Defender for Server, or Proventia Desktop products.

CAUSE

This issue occurs because the affected ISS products cannot detect the changes that are made to the TCP/IP protocol by the revised MS05-019 security update or by the Update Rollup 1 for Windows 2000 SP4. The affected ISS products contain one of the following versions of the Blackdrv.sys file:
  • Versions later than 3.6.0.0 and earlier than 3.6.319.0
  • Versions later than 7.0.0.0 and earlier than 7.0.319.0

RESOLUTION

To resolve this issue, upgrade the affected ISS products with the current XPU versions. XPUs whose versions are ENR or later are not affected by this issue.
