Agreed. Previous patches worked as advertised with no adverse side effects here.
If you are willing to evaluate the eEye patch, Zert's should be higher on your list as well since reportedly it works better than eEye's.
eEye's patch only protects from attacks outside of %systemroot%. If an attacker can place a vulnerable file within %systemroot%, all bets are off. ZERT's patch, on the other hand, protects regardless of where the file is located. It specifically prevents the stack overflow condition by blocking chunks larger than 36 bytes from being copied.
Regardless it's a moot point. The real patch is out. Install that one. It's on Windows update now.
ISC is reporting problems with the Microsoft patch. A problem with the Realtek HD Audio Control Panel has been confirmed and patched by Microsoft. Other problems have been reported but no additional information on them has been released at this point., -- Jason 'XenoPhage' Frisvold XenoPhage0@xxxxxxxxx http://blog.godshell.com
