We use a modified version of the pr_xp_hotfixes rule. I was going
through looking at the additions from the last patch Tuesday and see
only one difference pertaining to the Flash critical update:
!pc_Flash_6_0_79|pc_KB913433_MS06-020_XP_9x_Flash
However, if I'm reading this correctly there seems to be some logic
errors with this. If a user has upgraded to a newer version, 7 or 8,
then the rule fails for two reasons:
1) this rule doesn't look for a newer version
2) if a newer version has been installed, the old flash.ocx file at
version 6.0.79 is still present, causing the rule to fail
3) this rule doesn't address vulnerable versions of 7 or 8. Is this
because MS doesn't provide a patch if you've upgraded to 7 or 8?
Nevertheless, it seems as though this rule would always be broken for
upgraded users.
Am I misunderstanding this rule?
