AskWoody Plus“…expected to be twice the price?” Ow.
If MS’s offshore support is any indicator, 0Patch may be looking more attractive, even tho THEIR support is email only, from what I can see…

ManagerYes, they actually stated this last year. Approx $60 for year one, $120ish for year two and so on.

AskWoody PlusYup, now that I search my memory, you’re right. This year has gone by like lightning for me.
Question:
I know it’s “just” a vuln, and there’s nothing in the wild yet, but Sergiu’s knowledge of it seems to be more than enough to go to MITRE Corp. or the CNA and get a CVE assigned to it. I’ve read the paper on how CVE’s get assigned, and it seems all the criteria are met:
https://cve.mitre.org/CVEIDsAndHowToGetThem.pdf
Has the holiday thrown a wrench into that process? Would it even help get Redmond off their duff on this one? Is it necessary or prudent to get a CVE on it ASAP? Seems so to me, but I don’t have the knowledge base for how all the gears and cogs work on this sort of thing as a practical matter. The .PDF seems straightforward in theory, but then there’s the real world…
Just curious.

AskWoody Plus“…expected to be twice the price?” Ow.
According to Microsoft first year of ESU is ~$60, second year ~$120, third year ~$240, total $420.
0Patch Pro for 3 years ~$90 and supports patching Office including the EOL Office 2010 and many 3rd party apps.5 users thanked author for this post.

GuestWith no CVE, we would rather forego the ‘unofficial patch’ and wait it out for the ESU patch. snafu :)/

GuestThis is very low impact as it requires local (physical) access to the computer.
It reminds me of one of the Ten Immutable Laws Of Security:
“If a bad guy has unrestricted physical access to your computer, it’s not your computer anymore.”

AskWoody PlusThanks…I never knew that “Local” was synonymous with “physically present”. The Registry has always been in the same sketchy area as “Networking” on my mental PC/OS map; some tracings and pieces of knowledge, but not overall completely filled in. 🙂
