kb943055

(imported topic written by BetFix91)

This is marked as a security patch on the microsoft update site. I can associate all the other security patches/fixes with the source ID column in Bigfix. this one doesn’t seem to have a corresponding sourceID. Is this different for a reasson and how do I know which fixlet it relates to?

It looks like this number refers to MS08-008:

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/943055

http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/Bulletin/MS08-008.mspx

We will double check the fixlet SourceID numbers.

I talked with our Fixlet team and they said that the bulletin’s KB are taken from the subtitle (Vulnerability in OLE Automation…). In this case, it is 947890. MS will sometimes publish other KB numbers to refer to specfic parts of the vulnerabilities, but the patch is still the same.
