Hi Todd, "I am curious to know how the other patch vendor solutions are handling this issue. "
We absolutely want to be able to provide the best possible content for our customers. There's not much we can do when a vendor provides a broken installer for a security update, but we can at least be timely in our support of the fix regardless of whether or not that fix is itself labeled as a security update. To that end, we have the Flash 20.0.0.270 patch in process and plan to have it released today. :) I hope this helps. Feel free to contact me offline if you need any further details about HEAT PatchLink for System Center. Thank you!

Recently, Adobe released a security update for Flash-- 20.0.0.267 that had a bug in it and then a couple of days later released 20.0.0.270 to correct the bug. I need to patch Flash because there are security vulnerabilities in version 20.0.0.235. The only option Secunia has for us is to deploy version 20.0.0.267 which corrects known security vulnerabilities, but has a known critical functional bug. Secunia refuses to offer 20.0.0.270 because they consider it a "bug fix" and not a "security update" Secunia is in the business of patching security vulnerabilities not supplying patches that fix functional bugs. I am curious to know how the other patch vendor solutions are handling this issue. Does your third party patch solution offer all patches for Flash or only ones that plug security holes? ________________________________ Notice: This UI Health Care e-mail (including attachments) is covered by the Electronic Communications Privacy Act, 18 U.S.C. 2510-2521, is confidential and may be legally privileged.
