*Microsoft to Release Out-of-Schedule Patch for ANI Vulnerability

Published: 2007-04-02,
Last Updated: 2007-04-02 03:39:56 UTC
by Kevin Liston (Version: 1)

I don't think this is an April Fools' Hoax.

The Microsoft Security Response Center blog reports that they "have been working around the clock to test this update and are currently planning to release the security update that addresses this (ANI) issue on Tuesday April 3, 2007."

This is further supported here: www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/advance.mspx

As expected, the update for the Cursor problem can now be downloaded from the Windows Update web site.
