How did you test this (and on what platform), and why do you propose that the SANS tool is delivering more accurate results than the GDI tool delivered by Microsoft? I tested the SANS tool against a properly patched XP system on Friday and found it to false positive on many of the locations it said it wouldn't test on. Additionally, I found it to alert on MS09.dll, on an XP system. Our understanding from Microsoft is that MS09.DLL only needs to be updated to be fully compatible with an updated GDIPLUS.DLL in the system directory, it is not directly vulnerable. So, it would be good to know what you found.

In contraddiction as the report provided by MS gdidettool.exe it found two version of vulnerable dlls. Be warned don't trust only MS's detection tool! Do all steps to patch your machines. albatross P.S. I think this will be another nightmare for many people.... any news about SUS 2.0/WUS? ********************************************************************** This e-mail is sent by a law firm and contains information that may be privileged and confidential.
