First Patch released for Vista Component

Wed - 14th Feb 2007

Microsoft released a patch for Windows Defender for February's Patch Tuesday. The patch is Microsoft Security Bulletin MS07-010 and applies to "Microsoft Windows Defender in Windows Vista"

Quote:

"The underlying component [of Windows Defender] does ship with Vista," acknowledged Mark Griesi, security program manager for the Microsoft Security Response Center (MSRC). "That's the correlation people are drawing. The vulnerability is in the malware engine, which is part of Defender, which is part of Vista. So, yes, you can say that Vista [itself] is vulnerable.

"But is it a direct vulnerability in Vista? I wouldn't characterize it like that," he added.

This will be the first of many if I know software
