Will a fixlet be provided for Microsoft Security Advisory 2749655? The advisory/patch was released (10/09/2012).
An update (KB2749655) for Microsoft Security Advisory: Compatibility Issues Affecting Signed Microsoft Binaries
Affected Software:
• Microsoft Windows XP
• Windows Server 2003
• Windows Vista
• Windows Server 2008
• Windows 7
• Windows Server 2008 R2
Summary:
Microsoft is aware of an issue involving specific digital certificates that were generated by Microsoft without proper timestamp attributes. These digital certificates were later used to sign some Microsoft core components and software binaries. This could cause compatibility issues between affected binaries and Microsoft Windows. While this is not a security issue, because the digital signature on files produced and signed by Microsoft will expire prematurely, this issue could adversely impact the ability to properly install and uninstall affected Microsoft components and security updates.
As a pre-emptive action to assist customers, Microsoft is providing a non-security update for supported releases of Microsoft Windows. This update helps to ensure compatibility between Microsoft Windows and affected software binaries. For more information about the update, please see Microsoft Knowledge Base Article 2749655.
