Microsoft presents Release Candidate 2 of Service Pack 3 for Windows XP

Microsoft is putting the finishing touches to Service Pack 3 for Windows XP. Last December, the first Release Candidate (RC) of SP3 was made available for public download; now, Microsoft has released a second RC. Versions of XP that have this update report for work as "Service Pack 3, v.3300" with build number "2600.xpsp.080125-2028".

Unlike RC1, RC2 is not yet available to the general public for download, but only to a small group of registered beta testers. It is not yet clear whether Microsoft will ever make RC2 available to a larger group of testers.

SP3 upgrades all 32-bit versions of Windows XP, provided that at least Service Pack 1 has been installed. In doing so, it differs from all previous service packs: up to now, all of Microsoft's service packs have been cumulative, meaning that they contained all patches and updates of previous versions. In contrast, SP3 for XP only contains the patches and updates that have appeared since SP1. RC2 also contains a number of add-ons available separately, such as Background Intelligent Transfer Service (BITS) 2.5, Windows Installer 3.1, Management Console (MMC) 3.0 and Core XML Services 6.0.

The final version of SP3 is expected sometime in the first two quarters of 2008, by which Microsoft usually means the second quarter, not the first. SP3 will be the last service pack for XP. However, patches for security problems that Microsoft categorises as critical will continue to be available for free until at least 2014. (jk/c't)
This is the self-extracting executable that contains the update package for Windows XP Service Pack 3 Release Candidate 2.

It is recommended that you apply this update package to an activated, genuine copy of Windows XP, in a test environment. As with any pre-release software, it is also recommended that you back up files and settings on your machine before applying this update package. You may apply this package to previous pre-release editions of Windows XP Service Pack 3 (e.g., the Release Candidate Refresh).

A Microsoft disponibilizou para os beta-testers o Release Candidate 2 do Windows XP Service Pack 3 (Build 3300). Diferente dos builds anteriores, que eram disponibilizados quase sempre em inglês, francês, alemão e japonês, desta vez a Microsoft disponibilizou também a versão em português brasileiro.

De acordo com comentários de alguns beta-testers, o build 3300 provavelmente será o mesmo da versão RTM (isso não foi confirmado).

O Windows XP SP3 contém todas as atualizações lançadas anteriormente para o sistema operacional e inclui um pequeno número de novos recursos e funcionalidades. Entre elas estão o Network Access Protection (NAP), um novo modelo de ativação do Windows em que o usuário não precisa digitar a chave no momento da instalação, detecção de “Black Hole Router” (o Windows XP SP3 pode detectar e proteger contra roteadores que estão descartando dados) e o novo Microsoft Kernel Mode Cryptographic Module.

A versão final tem lançamento previsto para o primeiro trimestre de 2008.

Some (packers) are not detected:
new Backdoor

Creates the following files to Windir\Media folder (same as some very old Backdoors but different signatures):
C:\WINDOWS\Media\csrss.exe
C:\WINDOWS\Media\MSWINSCK.OCX

Adds to the value "Shell"="explorer.exe"

"Shell"="explorer.exe" C:\WINDOWS\Media\csrss.exe"
to the registry key:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon

and maybe like the old Backdoor:
"RegWrite"="c:\windows\media\csrss.exe"
to the registry key:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run


After executing it run a "fake" csrss.exe from folder windir\Media in process manager as soon windows starts together with the original \system32 Microsoft Corporation Client Server Runtime Process (csrss.exe) and connect to a webserver.


After removing these files under windir\Media appears :


No AV, Anti Spyware, Anti Malware Program or Startup Manager Tools ever monitored logon shell:
WinLogon = Explorer.exe for changes
extensions for example :
"Shell"="explorer.exe C:\WINDOWS\Media\csrss.exe"
"Shell"="explorer.exe C:\any application to run with startup test.dll"
