From the same Microsoft link: “06/22/2017  Microsoft is announcing the release of update 4032782 for Internet Explorer 11 on Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows 8.1, and Windows Server 2012 R2 to address a known issue customers may experience when printing from Internet Explorer. Only customers who are experiencing print issues after installing Internet Explorer Cumulative update 4021558 should install update 4032782 because update 4032782 addresses the known issue by removing the protection from CVE-2017-8529. The update is available via the Microsoft Update Catalog only.”

None of this is documented at https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/894199/description-of-software-update-services-and-windows-server-update-serv :(.

So, for example, Microsoft has issued KB4022168 as preview. So, next month this will become the official rollup? That’s Microsoft’s “solution” to the problem – revert back to the vulnerable code that works?!?

One Internet Explorer June vulnerability fix (for CVE-2017-8529) was reverted in these updates. The other Internet Explorer June vulnerabilities remain fixed in the updates. We’ll see what happens in the July updates.

Note – KB4032782 may crash IE 11

I’ve added an addendum to my blog post IE11 printing issues in Windows are fixed (June 2017). Microsoft is aware of this and is researching this problem.

The updates mentioned in the first post, except for KB4022716, have the same warning added to their knowledge base articles.
