Microsoft last Tuesday fixed 2 bugs in relation to one of its recently released security patches and it gets pretty scary if this thing happens often. I might even want to stop updating patches in the future. That’s what you get from a company that does not have effective Change Management.
"Last night we fixed a couple of issues from last week's release," the Microsoft Security Response Center team wrote in a posting on their blog. "One issue was that even though you installed the update, you could still be getting it reoffered to you via Windows Update, Microsoft Update, Automatic Update or WSUS."
A second glitch affected people running Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1. In this particular case, the MS06-034 patch would not be offered to users if the initial update failed to install. In certain cases, users may not have been aware that the security patch had not taken hold. Microsoft has provided information on both issues on its Web site.
