Bork Tuesday, Any Problems Yet?

hi but it's a mess
disable the autoupdate is a must

 

Frustrating. This patch definitely seems to be causing issues, but this morning I see this:
http://www.zdnet.com/drop-what-youre-doing-and-patch-the-windows-schannel-bugs-now-7000035738/
So it is critical that we install this borked patch. Yay Microsoft! I don't hate them yet, but I'm getting there.

 

M$ are definitely not going to be on my Christmas card list this year!

 

Nov 18: Out-of-band release for Security Bulletin MS14-068

 

So what is the final verdict. Install, uninstall, reinstall ? As of now I have uninstalled it. One thing for sure, no " Bork Chops" for supper to-night.

 

That is what I am still researching, but as of now I am not going to install it. Make your own choice at your own risk, as it looks like a lose/lose situation at the moment.

 

More patch problems reported with MS14-066/KB 2992611/WinShock

 

Some users who have installed the MS14-066 patch that fixes a vulnerability in the Schannel technology in Windows are having issues with the fix causing TLS negotiations to fail in some circumstances.

The problem arises when users have TLS 1.2 enabled in certain configurations and it will sometimes cause processes to hang or become unresponsive from time to time. Microsoft said it’s aware of the issue and is recommending that users who run into the problem disable support for several of the new cipher suites that the MS14-066 patch adds to Windows.

Ok, that's a definite do not install for me. No more research needed...

 

Too hard for most folks and too much work for the rest (I would have to do 20+ PCs).

 

Out-of-Band on WU now cited in my:

A modified version of this update was released today.

 

I uninstalled KB2992611 and KB2991963. After the uninstall the Windows Update alerted to install KB2973337, a recommended update. Anyone care to enlighten as to why this update alert afterwards? Putting everything on hold for now.

 

Does the uninstall of KB2992611 also remove any Registry changes it made.

 

Of the KB2992611? If so, did they fix it?

 

Yes and yes. See https://www.wilderssecurity.com/thr...-for-november-2014.370036/page-2#post-2428453.

 

No borking yet on the latest update, but an awfully long reboot...

 

Thanks!

 

This old registy "hack" is no longer working - as Microsoft has finally retired Windoze XP

Where does it say that? I just updated my VirtualBox XP earlier today.

 

The repartee may be found over at DSL Reports.

 

Link please? I can't seem to Google it.

 

Patch NOW! Microsoft slings emergency bug fix at Windows admins

 

Still nothing about what you were describing.

 

I updated 11 of the patches successfully yesterday, hiding two. Today I have a new patch:

Security Update for Windows 7 x64 based systems (KB3011780) 5.4 MB

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/3011780

Has anyone received this after actually applying this months patches?

I may hide this one too.
