Windows vulnerability

[mick92z]

Hi, everyone, I just ran a scan with Secunia PSI. It informed me of that MSMXL Core Services was outdated. I immediately ran windows update, and found no updates. Having looked on the Secunia forums, I see that a manual download and installation is necessary,( from 2009 ) then windows alerts to further necessary updates.
I have the link here http://secunia.com/community/forum/t...ces_4_x_update
This is all a bit above me, but i trust Secunia, and it appears if you are not running Secunia, you could have a possible vulnerability, not reported by windows updates

Question, have you checked your hidden updates ?

I have just checked them, they are all Microsoft Malicious Software Removal Tools.
This was not a hidden update. I have scanned with Secunia hundreds of times since 2009. If was hidden it would have been flagged before. Have you scanned with secunia ? http://secunia.com/
Maybe this problem is unique to just a few machines

What I have for XML are:

MS XML Core Services 3.x Version 8.110.7601.17857 (Both x32 & x64)
MS XML Core Services 6.x Version 6.30.7601.17857 (Both x32 & x64)

I Run Secunia at least 1 time every week.

Win 7 x64

My W7/32 does not get this message when I run Secunia, however my Vista Bus/32 does get the warning from Secunia. My windows update on Vista shows that windows is up to date.

It's quite confusing. After manually updating yesterday,followed by new windows updates, mine are showing ( see pic )
Here is another link, hopefully it may help http://secunia.com/community/forum/t...m_with_msxml_4

Completely Off Topic, but these kind of problems make me remember DLL Hell

I too got a notification from Secunia for my MSXML 4.0. I googled and found MSXML 4.0 SP3 (KB2721691). Installed that. And Secunia is happy again. And Windows Update was saying nothing new was available.
