It would seem I was actually quite wrong, it doesn't just fix the url 
spoofing problem which is actually %01 not %00, duh.  Anyway...  The 
fixes in MS04-004 are very similar to MS03-048 (so similar they copy and 
pasted most of the bulletin,) BUT they are new vulnerabilities with the 
same end state: remote code execution.  Further adding to the reasoning 
for an out of cycle release.  I personally think they should make this 
more clear, looking at MS03-048 and MS04-004 side by side makes you 
think they just kept the rollup verbage and added the URL fix.
