Stephen Toulouse Update Quotations

Should MS05-018 have been a more complete update to address the underlying vulnerable function? Yes, Cesar is right. But I want to reiterate that MS05-018 did protect against the issue that was brought to us,

We're working on an update to Internet Explorer and that update is currently in our testing process and could come out as early as April. However there's no firm date.

We're working day and night on development of a cumulative security update for Internet Explorer that addresses the vulnerability.

This situation is now resolved and customers should be able to get the update. I want to reiterate that the problem had nothing to do with the update itself, you applied it manually from the download center or got it through SUS 1.0 it should install correctly and protect against the vulnerability. But it's available now for everyone.

Currently that update is in the testing phase and could be released as early as April. But of course, that isn't final.

Our test and engineering plan for that update that we began two weeks ago is on track to have that update ready for Tuesday.

The maximum total severity rating for this month is Critical, so please update systems as soon as possible when the bulletin is available this coming Tuesday.
