Did Microsoft pull an Ilfak?

Hi forum members,

There is some controversy over the latest Microsoft patch for the WMF feature, could it be identical to the WMF Hotfix?

Hello,

Maybe the patch fixed some WMF things the Hotfix did not, or maybe they are just different names.

I’d put it this way: the solution is rather obvious, so it’s not that surprising that two parties come with basically the same fix. As already explained elsewhere, this vulnerability is not really a bug, but rather a feature (that shouldn’t be there). So, the solution is simply to remove this feature - there’s not much else to do.

Are you suggesting bill waited for someone else to create a solution then rebranded it with M$ badge. :o Shock horror
Who would have believed it possible ;D ;D

it’s not exactly copy even it’s similar … also i suggest read comments on that blog entry …
MS already suprised with being able release tested patch to wide range of systems whole week earlier than it was first announced …
