Microsoft's infamous 'Patch Tuesday' addresses seven flaws

Yesterday, Microsoft patched seven problems with Windows XP SP2. The three updates that were marked "critical"-

• An update to Windows Internet Explorer 7
• Windows Media Player patch
• Visual Studio 2005 fix

The last four updates marked "important" fix flaws in Outlook Express, the SNMP network management protocol, fix privelage problems, and patch a problem with remote installation services. You can read a full rundown of December's Patch Tuesday here. A recent flaw discovered in Microsoft Word remains unpatched.

Microsoft delays Patch Tuesday as world awaits fix for SMB flaw

"Yesterday was the second Tuesday of February, and that means it should be Microsoft's Patch Tuesday. It should be a big Patch Tuesday, too. First, there's an in-the-wild zero-day flaw in SMB, Microsoft's file sharing protocol, that at the very least allows systems to be crashed, and the patch should be released today.

Second, Microsoft is continuing to tune the way updates are delivered to Windows 7, 8.1, Server 2008 R2, Server 2012, and Server 2012 R2. The company started moving to a Windows 10-like cumulative model last year in a bid to ensure that the configurations the company tested (all patches applied, all the time) matched the end-user experience. Each operating system is getting two packages a month: a "Monthly Rollup" and a "Security Only" update.

The "Monthly Rollup" contains both security fixes and general reliability improvements, and it's a cumulative update, incorporating both the current month's fixes and historic updates. The intent is to make it easier to get a freshly installed system up to date; instead of installing hundreds of individual fixes, the latest Monthly Rollup should do the job.

The "Security Only" package isn't cumulative, and it skips the general reliability improvements.

Starting this month, the Security Only package is changing a little. Previously, it contained both operating system and Internet Explorer fixes. Going forward, however, the Security Only package will only contain non-Internet Explorer fixes. A second package, the Cumulative Security Update for Internet Explorer, will apply browser fixes. Like the Monthly Rollup—and unlike the Security Only patch—the Internet Explorer package will be cumulative, containing both new and historic patches. Microsoft says this change is being made to reduce the size of the Security Only package.

The deployment system is also being refined to ensure that neither the Security Only patch nor the Internet Explorer patch will be installed on machines that have a current Monthly Rollup.

This is all well and good, except it's not happening. Due to a "last-minute issue," Microsoft has delayed this month's updates, and currently, there's no expected time of arrival. This delay may hint at one of the downsides of the combined patching: in the past, an individual fix might be held back due to a late-breaking problem, but other fixes could still be delivered on time as expected. With everything bundled—and, critically, tested—together, the company may be more reluctant to punt an individual fix to next month.

Still, if the delay means that Microsoft is avoiding shipping a fix that breaks people's computers, it's probably for the best."

Jan 10th Patch Tuesday: 7 Patches On The Way

Microsoft has just released their Security Bulletin Advance Notification for January 2012. This is pre-release information about the Windows patches due to be rolled out on Microsoft Update on Tuesday 10th January. In it, there is one critical and six important updates. There are three remote code execution patches (one critical); two information disclosures and one privilege escalation. There is also one "security feature bypass", which is interesting, because it's not a description seen before. It's not hard to get an idea of what this fixes, but we await the release of the official bulletins for the full description of what security feature is fixed.

All versions of Windows have patches coming up, but some of those patches don't apply to particular versions of Windows and the notification lists which Windows version gets which bulletin/patch. At the same time, Microsoft is releasing an updated version of it's Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool. Full details here
