What is CVE-2004-2091?

The Microsoft Baseline Security Analyzer (MBSA) 1.2 misidentifies systems that have been patched but remain exposed to vulnerabilities until a reboot occurs. This flaw may lead administrators to mistakenly believe that their systems are secure, thus increasing the risk of exploitation.
