Microsoft redoes SChannel “WinShock” patch KB 2992611, releases MS14-068/KB 3011780 and rollup KB 3000850
Posted on November 18, 2014 at 14:45 CST by woody • Comment in the ForumsYou gotta ask yourself…
I’m not at all confident that the KB 2992611 re-release will fix all the problems.
And there’s already one person reporting on the SANS Internet Storm Center that installing KB 3011780 makes Windows Update inoperable on “Windows 2003” machines.
