We are having an issue with the update to “MS08-052: Vulnerabilities in GDI+ Could Allow Remote Code Execution - Word Viewer 2003, Excel Viewer 2003, Visio Viewer 2003” ID 805285
Last night we had approx. 9350 showing relevant and after sending the job only 200 or so were successful. We had over 5,200 failures.
We are now showing 9197 relevant but only 183 of these machines have office 2003 installed.
I manually tried to install the update on several relevant machines (that failed the original job) and received the attached error message…is it possible that the relevance is incorrect?
Although MS08-052 explicitly states that Microsoft Visio 2003 Viewer is applicable to the patch in question, as it turns out this simply is not true. Our initial testing covered Visio viewer installed along with the other viewers but not alone, and hence we did not catch this Microsoft oversight. Apologies for the mistake, and we will be publishing a new version that is only relevant for the Word and Excel viewers shortly. Please let us know if you experience any further issues with the new version.
Good to hear. We are primarily an Office 2000 organization with several hundred installs of Office 2007. We have close to 5,000 systems with Visio Viewer 2003 installed. We have only a dozen systems with Word or Excel viewers installed. Thanks for the support and clearing up the confusion.
