Medical Automation Systems reviews all Microsoft security patches when they are released. MAS is in process for reviewing the security patches listed below for August 2005.  Microsoft rates some of these as 'critical' but the vulnerabilities may in fact pose no risk to the RALS system if customers adhere to the intended use of RALS.

MS05-038 - Critical - Cumulative Security Update for Internet Explorer (896727)

MS05-039 - Critical - Vulnerability in Plug and Play Could Allow Remote Code Execution and Elevation of Privilege (899588)

MS05-040 - Important - Vulnerability in Telephony Service Could Allow Remote Code Execution (893756)

MS05-041 - Moderate - Vulnerability in Remote Desktop Protocol Could Allow Denial of Service (899591)

MS05-042 - Moderate - Vulnerabilities in Kerberos Could Allow Denial of Service, Information Disclosure, and Spoofing (899587)

MS05-043 - Critical - Vulnerability in Print Spooler Service Could Allow Remote Code Execution (896423)

MS Patches NOT Critical to RALS Functionality If MAS determines that the vulnerability as described in a Microsoft bulletin should not adversely affect the RALS functionality when the system is used as intended, the security patch will be tested and included in the next routine product version release.  Should the user apply the patches, MAS cannot guarantee or warrant its operation or impact on the RALS system.  In this situation there will be no routine customer notification.
