This even includes Windows XP. https://www.engadget.com/2019/05/14/windows-7-xp-rds-vulnerability/ https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com...dating-remote-desktop-services-cve-2019-0708/
I'm confused. The technet blurb says update will be KB4500705, but the links for download are KB4500331 and we need to download. Any idea what to do on XP Pro SP3 32-bit?
Still on Windows XP? Update Manually or Get Wormed https://www.howtogeek.com/414804/still-on-windows-xp-update-manually-or-get-wormed/
This is important (good) news in that Microsoft is very aware reaching back to cover previous versions for this is paramount that their reputation status not take another severe hit as Wannacry openly exposed them with. I been belly aching for years on deaf ears that it would be to Microsoft's benefit going forward to revisit previous versions and bring them not only up to solid compliance on the security side but also beef up what they can with (ie:explorer.exe) and other files to boost performance/dependability. That would encourage users who have tuned against them and Windows 10 to take another look, perhaps more favorably on their current 10 series enough to transition.
Many of us with the same thoughts exactly. With the way that they've been so insistent? with the Windows 10 demands they've endorsed so feverishly to date, this is quite an about face. But a welcome one nonetheless.
An update for XP? are you kidding me? I'd be very wary that they aren't pulling some nasty trick to put another nail in the coffin
What a joke... so another backdoor was discovered or "leaked" and we are calling it a vulnerability? https://portal.msrc.microsoft.com/en-US/security-guidance/advisory/CVE-2019-0708 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backdoor_(computing) And we should be thankfull that after all these years microsoft decided to close another of their backdoors...
Many thanks. Looks like the actual download is here https://www.catalog.update.microsoft.com/search.aspx?q=4500331 ,and it worked for me on XP-SP3. Installed in under 2 minutes. No problems.
Thanks for updating the actual download for us. That outbreak and subsequent spurts of other ones quite similar must really have had enough of an impact on the company as a whole that they took this measure to backtrack a bit on it to seal up that one fully.
This vulnerability also affects OS Vista: https://borncity.com/win/2019/05/15/critical-update-for-windows-xp-up-to-windows-7-may-2019/
Microsoft sets post-retirement patching record with Windows XP fix – 5 years after support ended by Gregg Keizer.
Hello Reality. Unfortunately it's only a matter of time when bad actors reverse engineer M$ security patches and attack an unpatched OS. Whether they go after Windows XP and other OS affected is hard to say, but there is that possibility.
