Additionally Microsoft is re-releasing one bulletin:

  • MS07-038
    Vulnerability in Windows Vista Firewall Could Allow Information Disclosure (935807) – This is a detection-only change, to address the situation where a missing Firewall Logging Directory would cause the update installation to fail. There’s no change to the update binaries, so if you have already successfully installed this update, you do not need to reinstall it.

Please refer to the bulletin revision notes for more detail.

Also today Microsoft released Microsoft Security Advisory (932596). This is to let customers who run x64-based Windows operating systems know about an update to Kernel Patch Protection that is available. The update adds additional checks to Kernel Patch Protection for increased reliability, performance and security. Please see the security advisory and associated KB for more information.
