If you run these, be careful with installing the latest Microsoft Security Patches

? Microsoft Windows Server 2003, Datacenter Edition (32-bit x86)
? Microsoft Windows Server 2003, Enterprise Edition (32-bit x86)
? Microsoft Windows Server 2003, Standard Edition (32-bit x86)
? Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1
? Microsoft Windows XP Professional SP1
? Microsoft Windows XP Professional SP2
? Microsoft Windows 2000 Advanced Server

? Microsoft Windows 2000 Service Pack 4

A Microsoft patch meant to fix critical security flaws in Windows 2000, Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 is causing trouble for some users, the company said Friday.

The patch was released Tuesday to fix four Windows flaws, including one that experts predict will be exploited by a worm in the coming days. The flaw, tagged "critical" by Microsoft, lies in a Windows component for transaction processing called the Microsoft Distributed Transaction Coordinator, or MSDTC.

Installing the patch can cause serious problems, Microsoft said in an advisory posted to its Web site Friday. The patch could lock users out of their PC, prevent the Windows Firewall from starting, block certain applications from running or installing, and empty the network connections folder, among other things, the software maker said.

The trouble appears to occur only when default permission settings on a Windows directory have been changed, according to Microsoft. The software maker has received "limited reports" of problems from customers but is still investigating the issue, a representative said.

Even if users experience PC trouble after installing the patch, they will still be protected against any attack exploiting the Windows flaw, a Microsoft representative said. The patch was delivered with Microsoft security bulletin MS05-051.

To resolve any problems caused by the MS05-051 patch, users should restore the default permissions for the Windows folder and the COM+ catalog. A guide is available on the Microsoft Web site, and steps start with changing the permissions on the "registration" folder in the Windows directory.

I'm sure they'll get around to a fix for their fix in a few months or so.

I hate when updating patches turn into an all day affair when they fuck things up.

BRISK · 10-15-2005, 09:23 AM

If they knew that this would happen, and I am sure that they did, Why the fuck would the release it

Microsoft should get affiliate money from Linux and FreeBSD.
They sure do like to promote other operating systems!
Thats some advertiseing campaign they got going,

Did anyone actually read the release?

I'm sorry but if you're going to go in and change permissions on %windir%\registration directory and/or change permissions on the *.clb files in that directory and expect to be able to install a COM+ and MS DTC update without incident, you're a damn fool.

Stay the fuck out of the %windir% if you don't know what you're doing and you won't have problems like this.

Linux is the answer. More terrible things is in the pipline from microsoft.

It would be considered "profiling" or somehow racist to do this. Like many things, what is obvious is not politically correct to do.

This has NOTHING to do with Linux, Microsoft, or Apple...

It has to do with dumbass wannabe sysadmins doing dumb shit. I'm bored -- I think I'll go change some linux system file permissions...

chmod 0 /etc
chmod 0 /dev
chmod 0 /sbin
chmod 0 /boot

Think I'll be able to patch the kernel and reboot my system?
