COMMAND

    WebTV

SYSTEMS AFFECTED

    Win 98, ME

PROBLEM

    Andrew Griffiths found following.   There exists a trivial DoS  in
    WebTV coming from plain 98 installation.  By sending a udp  packet
    to the 22701-22705 (opened up  by annclist.exe) you can cause  the
    program to crash  or cause various  blue screens etc.   The larger
    the  size,  the  more  dramitic  the effects (lockups, reboots and
    that).

    This applies to 98se and Windows ME, also.
