Re: [Full-Disclosure] MS updates question

In some cases you have to install other patches first (this should be obvious to most of you). As an example if you don't upgrade to media player 9 then you don't get the security patch for the command execution vuln. As an other example you may have 3 patches to install right now and one of them is a Service pack... after the SP install you may find that you now have 20 things to patch.

Feel free to correct me if I am wrong...

Subject: [Full-Disclosure] MS updates question

Please be kind as I am no security expert, I just have a question.  Are
there security updates for windows xp that aren't posted on the windows
update site?  When I go to windowsupdate.microsoft.com, of all categories,
I'm missing only 2 recommended updates (journal viewer, and windows
messenger update).  however, when I run MS baseline Security Analyzer ver
1.2, it tells me I have 5 security updates that are out of date or could not
be confirmed: MS02-050, MS02-054, MS02-072, MS03-030, MS03-051. These I will
manually update, but why the discrepancy?
