The company has now launched a revised version of the security bulletin

Microsoft has just published a brand new version of the MS13-061 security bulletin launched on this month’s Patch Tuesday, claiming that this build should work without any issues.

MS13-061 was rolled out to address three different vulnerabilities found in Microsoft Exchange and that would allow an attack to take control of a vulnerable system.

However, the company has pulled it soon after that because of reports claiming that the security bulletin was causing a corruption of the index database. The version released today is distributed via the same built-in Windows Update feature, so no user input is needed.

“Microsoft reissued MS13-061 today to include Exchange 2013 again. You should be able to install it now without issues, but it makes sense to test the installation in your environment and/or wait until your next downtime for the installation,” Wolfgang Kandek, CTO of Qualys, explained.
