Microsoft mega-patch dogged by problems | |
|
||
| Time: 03:14 EST/08:14 GMT | News Source: E-Mail | Posted By: Todd Richardson | ||
|
Microsoft has released details about a number of problems which could be dogging those who install one of its patches issued on April 13 - the patch that fixes 14 vulnerabilities, among them two which are now being actively exploited. In one case, the company said that those who were running Windows Server 2003 could experience a situation "where programs that use Microsoft Windows Graphics Device Interface (GDI) functions to open enhanced metafile graphics files (also known as EMF image files) do not correctly display EMF image files that were created in Adobe Illustrator." | ||

Delpolyed the 04-11\12 this week to a few 100 clients and 100 or so servers no issues yet. Then again we did test these puppies for 2 weeks in the lab and with a few select power users. I wish these linux people would stfu because they have about as many security issues as win2k\3k, have the occational patch snafu just like ms, and have no where near the ease is distribution or application of said patches. (not that patching 100's of clients is easier on win32 either) Only thing they have going for them is that most do not require a reboot; but then again I never have to recompile my win32 kernel either. such debates are lame, especially since one is deloyed to 100's of millions of system, and one is on a few million systems.

Tell you what does worry me though, is the future of 0-day releases which we get into the wild before us IT folks can have a week or so to test patches before deployment. |
