Microsoft KB2760411, KB2760588, KB2760583

Patch Tuesday offered me 15 updates on Windows XP, and 25 updates for Windows 7. Among them were KB2760411, KB2760588, and KB2760583 - all for Office 2007.

After system restart, Automatic Updates immediately offered these three updates again. Secunia PSI also complained that these updates were not applied.

Searching Google today for these KB numbers I found that I am not quite alone experiencing this, and that "Microsoft is investigating the problem". So far no solution is available. Microsoft recommends to hide the updates for now.

 

WOW! I'm running 32-bit XP and it only offered 5 patches.

I'm running Secunia PSI also and it never mentions Microsoft patches. How do you get it to do so?

 

Thanks pwillener...

I have Windows XP and Office 2007.

 

On Patch Tuesday I had problems with installing KB2760411. It would present itself as not installed because it told me to install it again and again (after rebooting every time). Finally it stopped presenting itself as a new update. Showing as 3x installed in Windows Update. Strangely enough in Program & Features (view installed updates) it shows as just 1 installed. That's on Win 7. All other KB's installed without a problem.

 

If you use Microsoft Baseline Security Analyzer 2.2
it will show you which High Priority Updates are needed / missing and which have been installed.

How To: Use the Microsoft Baseline Security Analyzer

Look for the heading Scanning for Security Updates

 

This is ridiculous ...time for Linux I do believe ..

 

Perhaps it's the way I handle patch Tuesday. I don't wait for the notification to show up in the System Tray on Wednesday. I go to the Microsoft Update site in the early evening on patch Tuesday using IE. My system gets scanned and the High Priority updates come up along with an optional update to the definitions file for MSSE. I download and install them immediately and then clone the drive to another one.

I've got the Baseline Security Analyzer and ran it after reading your post and the only thing it complained about is my Updates settings (Notify me but don't download or install). Otherwise, I'm up to snuff.

 

It seems to have been fixed with the revisions of MS13-072 and MS13-073; see below.
