Microsoft may have touted Windows XP as the most secure operating system it has made, but the company on Thursday released a bug fix for a security hole that could leave some people's systems open to malicious attack.

Also win98, win98se, winME, that are running the "Universal Plug and Play" (UPnP) service should also use the patch, the company said.
