Random Musings - Day #202

Microsoft Patching is indeed a nightmare. After observing some patches missing on a customer system. The customer said the patch was installed. On closer inspection, the relevant driver appeared to be not be updated. Case in point is ms09-012 (959454) actually has 2 patches, 952004 (msdtc) and 956572 (windows isolation).

Furthermore, there are instances where you patch and patch again. The superseded patch reverts a driver back to previous vulnerable version, particularly if patched in the wrong order.

Another Tom unlike his namesake, Watson won a world title at very young age.
