Glenn9999 Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/...n/ms08-oct.mspxMicrosoft is going to release a security patch for most versions of Windows today (10/23). Since it's not Patch Tuesday, I figure this is probably for some kind of zero-day hole if they wanted to rush it out and couldn't wait until next month.

It had already announced plans to rush out the patch. I don't have a way to double-check this where I'm at, but it seems to be this patch:http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/...n/MS08-067.mspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
