[BESAdmin-Announcements] Content Modification Announcement

[besadmin-announcements at bigmail.bigfix.com]

Fixlet messages for MS06-020 have been modified since its initial
release to the "Enterprise Security" site. The Fixlet messages did not
correctly identify certain versions of Flash Player 8, which caused
false positive reports. The relevance has been modified to address this
issue, and computers with Flash Player 8 installed should no longer
report relevant.

 

In addition, deployment issues have also been discovered on Windows
98/ME, the default action has been removed from Fixlet ID 602005 and a
warning message has been added to the Fixlet description. Note that
Fixlet IDs 602003~602006 can all fail under various circumstances, in
those cases Flash Player must be updated manually.

 

Affected Fixlet Messages:

 

602001: "MS06-020: Vulnerabilities in Macromedia Flash Player from Adobe
Could Allow Remote Code Execution - Windows XP SP1/SP2"

602002: "MS06-020: CORRUPT PATCH - Windows XP SP1/SP2"

602003: "MS06-020: Vulnerabilities in Macromedia Flash Player from Adobe
Could Allow Remote Code Execution - Windows XP SP1/SP2 - Potential
Deployment Issues"

602004: "MS06-020: CORRUPT PATCH - Windows XP SP1/SP2 - Potential
Deployment Issues"

602005: "MS06-020: Vulnerabilities in Macromedia Flash Player from Adobe
Could Allow Remote Code Execution - Windows 98/ME - Potential Deployment
Issues"

602006: "MS06-020: CORRUPT PATCH - Windows 98/ME - Potential Deployment
Issues"
