Recently, Microsoft announced a fix for a "critical" security
issue (MS04-0028) which related to the display of JPEG images in
a wide range of their software. Malicious images are now starting
to circulate which exploit the underlying problem, with a view to
spreading "viruses" and/or leaving machines open to other attacks.

Although Turnpike does not use Microsoft's JPEG viewer, the
malicious images do affect the third-party image display
software incorporated in Turnpike. Although it does not seem
that the specific Microsoft-targeted exploit works (there's no
virus infection or insecurity left behind), any attempt to view
one of the malicious images will cause Turnpike to immediately 
immediately shut down or crash.

In line with previous stated policy to provide security updates,
Turnpike Six v6.04 has been released and is available from our  
FTP site.

For the full version:

   <ftp://ftp.demon.co.uk/pub/mirrors/turnpike/entire.exe>
   
Or for the upgrade version:

   <ftp://ftp.demon.co.uk/pub/mirrors/turnpike/uv604.exe>
   
This update addresses the problem with mal-formed JPEGs.

Requests for Turnpike CDs made via the Demon website will
be fulfilled when new CDs become available in a few weeks time.

Can we also take this opportunity to remind customers to keep
their anti-virus packages up to date.

Users of versions of Turnpike prior to 6.04 are advised to
turn off the in-line image viewer and update as soon as possible.

Although beyond the scope of Turnpike, if you are using an
external third party program to view images, ensure the vendor's
latest patches for viewing malformed JPEGs have been applied.

Further details of version 6.04 of Turnpike can be found in the
support newsgroup demon.ip.support.turnpike

Instructions to upgrade from earlier versions of Turnpike to this
latest version are identical to those for upgrading to V6.03 and
can be found at:
