I have received numerous messages about these two Security Bulletins.
Both of them point to WindowsUpdate as the source of the patch. This is
the first time I've come across a Security Bulletin which does this as
the *only* means of providing an update.

I have checked the http://corporate.windowsupdate.microsoft.com site,
the site where Administrators should normally be able to get all patches
available (including those available from WindowsUpdate) in packages
they can redistribute, but it appears this site hasn't been updated in
over a month.

I've contacted Microsoft about these issues and hope to hear from them
shortly. Given the criticality stressed by Microsoft on these bulletins,
and the fact that many Administrators block access to WindowsUpdate
directly from their client systems (a good idea to keep them in a known
supportable condition), I do appreciate how urgent this issues is.

As soon as I know more, I'll let you know.

Cheers,
