• Black Tuesday URI patch 943460 may have problems

    Posted on November 15, 2007 at 02:19 CST by • Comment in the Forums

    Just a quick heads-up.

    I had hoped to “fast track” this week’s Black Tuesday patches, particularly because the URI hole has several known exploits in the wild.

    Unfortunately, I’m starting to see reports that the patch may prevent Windows Media Player from seeing Firewire devices and it’s possible that significant groups of applications may not work right.

    Microsoft posted a Registry hack workaround for some known problems in KB 943460, but it’s tedious and undoubtedly difficult if you have to patch more than a couple of applications.

    Stay tuned.
