Is BigFix going to release fixlets for the following?

This alert is to notify you that Microsoft has released two new security advisories on February 24, 2009:

968272 - Vulnerability in Microsoft Office Excel Could Allow Remote Code Execution

967940 - Update for Windows Autorun

http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/advisory/967940.mspx

Thanks,

Scott

Hi Scott,

BigFix will not be releasing content for either one of these just yet. 967940 is a non-security update, and so it falls outside of the scope of our content. 968272 is a security issue, but Microsoft has not released a patch for it yet, only announced the vulnerability and provided several workarounds. I would wager that the patch will show up as a security bulletin next Patch Tuesday, but whatever the case, we will release content for it as soon as Microsoft provides a patch.

Please let us know if you have any other questions.

Thanks,

Randy
