| Microsoft retires security bulletins Microsoft retired the security bulletins making many security experts lives rather difficult. Vole announced the demise of bulletins in November, saying then that the last would be posted with January’s Patch Tuesday, and that the new process would debut 14 February. A searchable database of support documents would replace the bulletins. Accessed through the “Security Updates Guide” (SUG) portal, the database’s content can be sorted and filtered by the affected software, the patch’s release date, its CVE (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures) identifier, and the numerical label of the KB, or “knowledge base” support document. SUG’s forerunners were the web-based bulletins that have been part of Microsoft’s patch disclosure policies since at least 1998. Vole did such a good job turning out those bulletins that they were considered the aspirational benchmark for all software vendors, so getting rid of them seemed so strange. http://www.techeye.net/news/microsof...rity-bulletins |
