Description of the problem:



Using certain host blocking methods (possibly used to block

advertisements) and Windows Update configured to automatically download

(and possibly install) updates, Windows Update may silently FAIL to notify

the user of the existence of critical updates.





Detailed description:



Windows Update (current version) tries to download its catalog of

available updates from a host on the Akamai domain (akamai.net). Access to

hosts on this domain is sometimes blocked by ad-blocking methods because

these hosts may also serve advertisements.

The problem is that Windows Update, when running unattended, does not

report errors directly to the user, possibly giving them a false sense of

security. (Windows Update does log its transactions to a log file, though.)





Possibly affected systems:



All Windows versions with Windows Update feature (ME, 2000, XP, 2003,

confirmed on Windows XP), using (advertising) host blocking mechanisms,

for example:

- 'HOSTS' file host blocking (entries pointing to 127.0.0.1 (localhost)

for hosts to be blocked).

- External firewall host blocking (rules denying traffic from and to

unwanted hosts).





How to check if your system is affected:



- Manually launch Windows Update and try to check for updates. How to do

this depends on your version of Windows.



- If you receive an error opening the Web page or you receive an error

while searching for updates, your system may be affected.



- Next, look for a file named "Windows Update.log" in your Windows

directory (the location depends on your Windows version).

Open this file (with Notepad for example) and search for the

string "Querying".



- Look for the LAST line found that is similar to this one (you may have

to use "Find Next" several times):



2003-08-15 22:12:20 20:12:20 Error IUENGINE Querying software

update catalog from

https://a248.e.akamai.net/v4.windowsupdate.microsoft.com/getmanifest.asp

(Error 0x800C0005)



- If the line contains "Error", Windows Update has not been able to

download the list of available updates. Your system possibly is vulnerable

to security exploits for which patches have been released. You should

apply the work-around below as soon as possible and update your system

with the latest patches.





Quick work-around:



Disable all host-blocking mechanisms.





More refined work-around



Users of external firewalls: Allow traffic from and to hosts on the Akamai

domain (akamai.net).

Users using HOSTS file: get the latest version of the HOSTS file (for

example from http://www.accs-net.com/hosts/ ) and check that no hosts from

the Akamai domain are being blocked.
