• MS-DEFCON 4: Patch everything except the Office 2010 Service Pack

    Posted on November 4, 2011 at 20:01 CDT by • Comment in the Forums

    Microsoft has announced that next Tuesday’s crop of patches will include four security bulletins, once of which may be interesting. Or maybe not.

    Accordingly, it’s a good time to go ahead and get caught up on your Microsoft patches, with one exception: there’s no pressing reason to install the Office 2010 Service Pack 1 / KB 2510690 patch.

    Also note that Office 2007 Service Pack 3 / KB 2526086 is out and available if you go looking for it, but shouldn’t be offered as part of the normal Windows Update cycle. That’s just as well. There’s no particularly good reason to install Office 2007 SP3, either.

    Accordingly, I’m moving us down to MS-DEFCON 4: There are isolated problems with current patches, but they are well-known and documented here. Check this site to see if you’re affected and if things look OK, go ahead and patch.
