Guys,we are using NS 6. Problem: Altiris NS Server reports that most our workstations are vulnerable, but the patch is actually installed on them. If we go into the Reports section of the NS server, most systems are reporting that they are vulnerable with respect to this patch, even though they have the patch installed.
The machines have been rebooted since the patch was deployed. Ive used the remote altiris agent diagnositcs tool. Ive tried to run an update inventory using the agent, but the reporting ns server is not updating. Inventory collection is set at an interval every 6 hours. Because my knowledge of altiris is really limited, im stumped and would love your guys seasoned expertise.
I spose the concern here is how do we get the ns server to report that systems that have actually been patched, dont show as vulnerable when doing the report on the ns server. GDR service branches contain only fixes that are widely released to address widespread, critical issues. LDR service branches contain hotfixes in addition to widely released fixes. These files and their associated. The attributes of these security files are not listed.

Therefore, any systems where e-mail messages are read, where Internet Explorer is used frequently, or where users have network share access, such as workstations or terminal servers, are at the most risk from this vulnerability.
Systems that are not typically used to visit Web sites, such as most server systems, are at a reduced risk. Does this mitigate this vulnerability?
Enhanced Security Configuration is a group of preconfigured settings in Internet Explorer that can reduce the likelihood of a user or administrator downloading and running specially crafted Web content on a server. This is a mitigating factor for Web sites that you have not added to the Internet Explorer Trusted sites zone.
What does the update do? When this security bulletin was issued, had this vulnerability been publicly disclosed? Microsoft received information about this vulnerability through responsible disclosure. Microsoft had not received any information to indicate that this vulnerability had been publicly disclosed when this security bulletin was originally issued. When this security bulletin was issued, had Microsoft received any reports that this vulnerability was being exploited?
Microsoft had not received any information to indicate that this vulnerability had been publicly used to attack customers and had not seen any examples of proof of concept code published when this security bulletin was originally issued. The vulnerability could allow remote code execution if a user opens a specially crafted EMF image file or browses to a Web site that contains specially crafted content. An EMF image is a bit format that can contain both vector information and bitmap information.
This format is an improvement over the Windows Metafile Format and contains extended features. For more information about image types and formats, see Microsoft Knowledge Base Article This vulnerability requires that a user open or view a specially crafted image file.
In an e-mail attack scenario, an attacker could exploit the vulnerability by sending a specially-crafted EMF image file or an Office document with a specially-crafted EMF image file embedded in it to the user and by convincing the user to open the document or view the e-mail containing the specially crafted image file. In a Web-based attack scenario, an attacker could host a specially crafted Web site that is designed to exploit this vulnerability through Internet Explorer and then convince a user to view the Web site.
The vulnerability could allow remote code execution if a user opens a specially crafted GIF image file or browses to a Web site that contains specially crafted content. An attacker could then install programs; view, change, or delete data; or create new accounts. Graphics Interchange Format GIF images are single or multiple raster files that support transparency, compression, interlacing, and multiple-image pictures animated GIFs. The vulnerability could allow remote code execution if a user opens a specially crafted WMF image file or browses to a Web site that contains specially crafted content.
A WMF image is a bit metafile format that can contain both vector information and bitmap information. It is optimized for the Windows operating system. The vulnerability could allow remote code execution if a user opens a specially crafted BMP image file. What is Bitmap BMP image format? Bitmap BMP image format is a graphics image file format defined by pixel data and file attributes. This vulnerability could not be exploited automatically through a Web-based attack scenario.
An attacker would have to host a Web site that contains a BMP-format image file that is used to attempt to exploit this vulnerability. An attacker would have no way to force users to visit a malicious Web site. Instead, an attacker would have to convince them to visit the Web site, typically by getting them to click a link that takes them to the attacker's site, and then convince the user to open the file in an affected application. In an e-mail attack scenario, an attacker could exploit the vulnerability by sending a specially-crafted file to the user and by persuading the user to open the file.
Manage the software and security updates you need to deploy to the servers, desktop, and mobile systems in your organization. Security updates are also available from the Microsoft Download Center. You can find them most easily by doing a keyword search for "security update. Finally, security updates can be downloaded from the Microsoft Update Catalog. The Microsoft Update Catalog provides a searchable catalog of content made available through Windows Update and Microsoft Update, including security updates, drivers and service packs.
For more information, see Microsoft Knowledge Base Article Microsoft Baseline Security Analyzer MBSA allows administrators to scan local and remote systems for missing security updates as well as common security misconfigurations. Software MBSA 2. Software SMS 2. See also Downloads for Systems Management Server 2.

This can trigger incompatibilities and increase the time it takes to deploy security updates. You can streamline testing and validating Windows updates against installed applications with the Update Compatibility Evaluator components included with Application Compatibility Toolkit 5. The Application Compatibility Toolkit ACT contains the necessary tools and documentation to evaluate and mitigate application compatibility issues before deploying Microsoft Windows Vista, a Windows Update, a Microsoft Security Update, or a new version of Windows Internet Explorer in your environment.
For information about the specific security update for your affected software, click the appropriate link:. The following table contains the security update information for this software.
You can find additional information in the subsection, Deployment Information , in this section. If the required files are being used, this update will require a restart. If this behavior occurs, a message appears that advises you to restart. Deployment Information Installing the Update. When you install this security update, the installer checks whether one or more of the files that are being updated on your system have previously been updated by a Microsoft hotfix.
Security updates may not contain all variations of these files. For more information about this behavior, see Microsoft Knowledge Base Article For more information about the installer, visit the Microsoft TechNet Web site. For more information about the terminology that appears in this bulletin, such as hotfix , see Microsoft Knowledge Base Article No user interaction is required, but installation status is displayed.
If a restart is required at the end of Setup, a dialog box will be presented to the user with a timer warning that the computer will restart in 30 seconds.
This is the same as unattended mode, but no status or error messages are displayed. The default setting is 30 seconds. This log details the files that are copied. Using this switch may cause the installation to proceed more slowly. Note You can combine these switches into one command.
For backward compatibility, the security update also supports the setup switches that the earlier version of the Setup program uses. For more information about the supported installation switches, see Microsoft Knowledge Base Article Supported Spuninst. See the section, Detection and Deployment Tools and Guidance , earlier in this bulletin for more information.
Because there are several editions of Microsoft Windows, the following steps may be different on your system. If they are, see your product documentation to complete these steps. In the All or part of the file name box, type a file name from the appropriate file information table, and then click Search.
In the list of files, right-click a file name from the appropriate file information table, and then click Properties. Note Depending on the edition of the operating system, or the programs that are installed on your system, some of the files that are listed in the file information table may not be installed.
Note Attributes other than the file version may change during installation. Comparing other file attributes to the information in the file information table is not a supported method of verifying that the update has been applied. Also, in certain cases, files may be renamed during installation. If the file or version information is not present, use one of the other available methods to verify update installation.
