Microsoft replaced the erroneous update for Windows 2000

A funny story happened with the MS10-025 update for the Windows 2000 operating system, which from the second time closed the critical vulnerability in the Windows Media Unicast Service component of Windows Media Services. According to the revision history , the update was released on April 13, but on April 21, Microsoft informed users that the patch did not close the hole, and on April 27 a new version of the patch was released.

We must pay tribute to one of Microsoft security managers, who honestly explained how this happened. According to him, in the process of studying the hole, Microsoft experts revealed a new version of the vulnerability, which was previously unknown. As a result, they made a patch covering it, but the initial vulnerability was left unclosed.
