MS Patch Day: September 13, 2005
By
Microsoft on Thursday announced plans to ship one security bulletin on Tuesday, Sept. 13, to provide patches for a “critical” flaw in its Windows operating system.
As part of its advance notice mechanism, the Redmond, Wash.-based software giant said the security update will require a restart and can be detected with the MBSA (Microsoft Baseline Security Analyzer) tool. The solitary bulletin will give IT administrators a temporary respite from patching?especially after the clean-up from the recent Zotob worm attacks?but to many in the security research community, it underscores Microsoft Corp.’s sluggish approach to addressing known security vulnerabilities.
