The re-release of MS06-042 comes as a result of eEye Digital Security finding yet another security vulnerability in the original MS06-042 patch. For those of you keeping score, it is now MS06-042: 0 and eEye Research: 2.
MS06-040 was re-released to address a memory issue affecting Windows 2003 SP1 or Windows XP x64 systems, which is discussed in the Microsoft Knowledge Base article 924054.
