You This is incorrect. Michael Hennessy has reported problems on the patch-management mailing list:
I took the SANS advice and de-registered the dll, and also installed Ilfak Guilfanov's "temporary patch" on 1 win2k machine and 6 XP machines today. All fine except for one of the XP machines - wouldn't run IE without gpf'ing until I uninstalled the patch - but leaving the dll de-registered didn't seem to cause any grief anywhere, so far. FWIW, the iexplore crashes left this in the event log: Event ID 4097, source : drwatson The application, C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe, generated an application error The error occurred on 01/02/2006 @ 14:49:49.709 The exception generated was c0000005 at address 0068E3BA (<nosymbols>) I suspect that the patch conflicts with an application that is specific to this machine.
