Patch Deployment Problems Haunt Microsoft Again
Ryan Naraine writes in eWeek:
For the second time in as many weeks, the MSRC has revised one of its "critical" security bulletins after some users complained of problems figuring out which patch to apply.
It appears that Windows 2000 users running Microsoft DirectX 8.0 or DirectX 9.0 had problems sorting through the bulletin to find the appropriate patches.
In the ensuing confusion, the incorrect patch was applied, leaving the PC vulnerable to code execution attacks.
A spokesperson for the Microsoft Security Response Center acknowledged the information mix-up but stressed that only a small subset of Windows 2000 users were affected.
