[BESAdmin-Announcements] [Patches for Windows (English) - Content Modification Announcement - MS09-073

[Announcements for BES Administrators]

BigFix has modified content in the Patches for Windows (English) / Enterprise Security site for MS09-073.


The following fixlet messages have modified descriptions to warn about files not being updated until Word is opened. This can sometimes result in BES Clients reporting failed actions even when they  successfully apply the patch and eliminate the vulnerability.  

ID: 907306  MS09-073: Vulnerability in WordPad and Office Text Converters Could Allow Remote Code Execution - Office XP SP3 (Local Install/Network)
