I am having an issue with MS08-069 KB951535 reporting as vulnerable when I think it should be ignored. This KB applies to Office 2003 Sp3, my machines have Sp2 so shouldn't this one just be ignored? Instead I am getting a failure reported.

Happy one

What is the failure you are seeing reported?

We do have Office SP3 and I'm getting failed reports back from KB951535 - return code 1642.

Hi,

Just to add to this thread I'm experiencing the same issue while testing patch Security Update for Office 2003 (KB951535). Here's some more information on what I'm receiving. (I'm not trying to hijack the thread just offering some more info! )

In event viewer I have event 1023 with the following message -

I tried to run the patch on my machine manually and recived the following message

Somebody slap me just worked out why this is working the error message was telling me! We only have SP2 in our office installation and the patch requires SP3

I've continued to post this just incase there's someone out there as blonde as I am! might save them any embarrasment asking!

Cheers!

My error code is also 1642. It would seem that this might be more of an "Is Applicable" rule setting. If it does not apply to SP2, then it should not show up as vulnerable. So does this go back to MS or Altiris. BTW, what happened to the Altiris forums. I logged in last week and this week it is completely different and I can't even find the Patch Management forum

Happy one

Altiris is aware of this and is working on it.

I'm sure everyone found this by themselves but just incase this is explained in Altiris KB article 44419
