The file versions for MSASN1.DLL listed in
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/MS04-007.asp
are all of the form 5.m.nnnn.x, so it may be that the Win98
version is so much older that it doesn't contain the vulnerable
code ...

If reference implementation is flawed, then "may be" seems not.
And it's reported as such.

If Microsoft were to support "legacy users", they'd put out a
public update for that; else at least considerable part of those
are left with something like zlib-related headache: buried deep
down there and unsupported thus not fixed, but you never know if
someone really needs to get in.
