September 2006 Security Releases ISO Image | |
|
||
| Time: 19:34 EST/00:34 GMT | News Source: ActiveWin.com | Posted By: Jonathan Tigner | ||
|
These ISO-9660 CD image files contain the security updates for Windows released on Windows Update on September 12th, 2006. They do not contain security updates for other Microsoft products. These CD images are intended for corporate administrators who manage large multinational organizations, who need to download multiple individual language versions of each security update, and who do not use an automated solution such as WSUS. Use these images to download multiple updates in all languages at the same time. | ||

3 security fixes for the largest software works on the planet (windows and office) this month... while apple has SEVEN fixes for quicktime alone...

#1, Yup - not too bad at all... and certainly a great deal easier to manage these days.
With good policies, procedures and testing/patching quickly, one can at least have some hope that they'll remain relatively secure. Still, one does wonder when the shoe will drop... so to speak, and we'll be bitten by some truly dreadful vulnerability. |

It's a shame they didn't bother to patch that zero-day Word flaw.
http://www.betanews.com/article/MS_Publisher_Windows_Flaws_Patched/1158094925 And what about the compression data loss flaw they've known about since late August? 3 weeks later and your data is still at risk. http://it.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=06/09/11/1342224 But if you crack their DRM, it's amazing how fast they move then. http://www.wired.com/news/columns/0,71738-0.html |

#1,
Install XP fresh, then go to windows update and install all updates. Then get back to me with the total. TL |

#1, #4: Or, take an XP box that is completely up to date, and go to the Windows Update site, and just go into the installed update history, and count all the updates from there.
I did just that, but stopped when I hit 104, as I didn't have time to keep going any further. This post was edited by MysticSentinel on Wednesday, September 13, 2006 at 15:12. |

| #1: You would prefer they use the Microsoft method, where you hide all 7 fixes into one patch and then announce the one security advisory? |
| #7 By 37047 (216.191.227.68) at 9/13/2006 4:05:30 PM |
| I checked my Windows Server 2003 system, and there are 86 Windows updates installed, as of yesterday's Patch Tuesday updates. |

#3 - Regarding the DRM "patch"... There's a big difference in creating a hotfix update that gets sent to a relatively-small number of content producers, and a security update that goes to 300 million Windows users. Of course it takes longer to produce the security updates--they need to be tested on more configurations, and need to be plumbed into the download center and Windows Update channels. Hotfixes require none of that.
#5 - Yes, it is ridiculous if there are > 100 individual patches to install on top of a fresh XPSP2 install. They should've released XPSP3 by now, so that there would be a newer baseline. #6 - Actually, Apple's is the one who hides all 7 fixes into one patch. I've gone to Apple's web site and haven't actually found any details on these particular vulnerabilities at all, but I remember looking at a past Apple security update for OS X. They listed 25 or so vulnerabilities, one sentence each, and provided one patch. No severity rankings for each vulnerability. No ability to download separate patches for easier testing and deployment. No workarounds in case you can't deploy the patches right away. No wonder Apple has no presence in the enterprise desktop market. I definitely prefer Microsoft's method better: each vulnerability gets its own comprehensive bulletin, and its own patch. Except in cases like IE where the patches are in the same file (or set of files), in which case there is one patch. However, the bulletins still detail each vulnerability separately. |

Patriot - "I've gone to Apple's web site and haven't actually found any details on these particular vulnerabilities at all"
You speak the truth there. HIDDEN. Apple is secure through ignorance only. |

#9: As opposed to Microsoft, who are insecure by ignorance.
