Impressions - April Microsoft Patches

["Paul Nelson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>]

Although I am applauding Microsoft for making some more efficient moves in patch releases to save admins from running around and screaming all of the time, this seems like a lot of holes to cover at once.

 

What is everyone's reaction to the seriousness of these?  With more vulnerabilities against domain controllers, ASN.1, and RPC services for example, we are facing a very difficult time to keep from being exploited.  I'm just concerned about the testing I need to do prior to rollout of these....it needs to be pretty extensive due to the impact. (even with extensive patch management tools in place)

 

I'm not complaining as I'm glad that these have all been identified, but it comes as a surprise to see this may issues that were all released today.

 

I'm interested in seeing other viewpoints and opinions.....
