erpdude8 Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 (edited) It is strange - at first Microsoft promissed to fix all critical security flaws, then it failed to do it.PetrWhat, pray tell, Petr, is so strange about that? MS doesn't have a good track record it that department anyways. as that Woody guy would say, "Trustworthy Computing" - see his article about MS06-015 not being offered for Win98/ME:http://www.askwoody.com/newscomments.php?newsid=492 Edited June 12, 2006 by erpdude8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wait until Wednesday noon or afternoon for them to be posted at WU.New WMP 9/10 security update [917734]:http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/...n/MS06-024.mspx Edited June 13, 2006 by erpdude8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDGx Posted June 13, 2006 Author Share Posted June 13, 2006 I don't think they lost any code, they're just too lazy to make patches for 9x OSes.They probably fired/layed off/reprofiled/etc all 9x OS developers/maintainers/support staff, they only need NTx people now.Why would they keep them, they don't make any money from 9x OSes.And they can't wait for July 11 to arrive, so they can ditch 98/ME support altogether.Just checked WU + WUC... no 98/ME updates posted yet. I'll try again tomorrow [thanks erpdude8].Petr:MS posted these fixes:- Slovenian:http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details...&displaylang=sl- Slovakian:http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details...&displaylang=sk- Thai:http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details...&displaylang=thfor the MS06-026 GRE WMF issue:http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/...n/ms06-026.mspxinstead of patching gdi32.dll/gdi.exe [?].These 2 files [Q918547.DLL + KB918547.EXE] are identical with the ones from the English fix because internal language properties box displays English.The catch is that these 2 files are only residents [TSRs], just like Q891711.

noguru Posted June 14, 2006 Share Posted June 14, 2006 5 updates for win98 on windowsupdate have arrived! (including a wmp9 update). Nice surprise I think, unexpected. To bad for the extra TSR (again...) but its better than nothing. Urlmon.dll version is updated to 6.0.2800.1550. Winupdate still works on my system, hope this will be the same for other activeX apps.

Bad news, the GRE WMF fix is made of 2 TSRs, similar to Q891711, actual GDI32.DLL/GDI.EXE *not* patched. Edited June 22, 2006 by MDGx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
