Microsoft MS10-025 Security Update to be Re-released
|
D-SWAT
The MS10-025 security update (affects only Windows 2000 Server) has been pulled because Microsoft has found it did not address the underlying issue effectively. A re-release of the update is planned for this week.
"Shortly after we released the update we received several reports that it did not protect against the vulnerability reported to us. At that time, we pulled the update and notified customers," Jerry Bryant, group manager of response communications for the Microsoft Security Response Center, wrote in a blog post on last Friday afternoon. "The main reason for pulling the update was to save a reboot for customers who had not yet installed it. The original issue was missed due to focusing on a variant of the original report early in the investigation. We are addressing this issue and plan to re-release the update next week."
When the fixed patch is ready, Microsoft says it will notify customers via its Twitter account @MSFTSecResponse and since the update will go out as a major revision to the bulletin.
