Fixlet Request for Microsoft Update 2735855

Usage and Config Patch

Can a fixlet be provided for Microsoft Update 2735855? This hotfix was released (9/11/2012).

An update (KB2736233) for Microsoft Security Advisory: Update Rollup for ActiveX Kill Bits

Affected Software:

• Windows 7

• Windows Server 2008 R2

Summary:

Assume that you run an application that is developed by using Windows Filtering Platform (WFP) API on a computer that is running Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2. When the application filters network traffic, the network connection is slow.

This issue occurs because the computer does not send TCP/IP ACK messages until a time-out occurs. This occurs when the driver for WFP filters data that the driver receives through the network. Therefore, the network traffic stalls the transfer of data when the TCP/IP ACK messages are delayed.

More Information: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2735855

Thanks,

Chi
