tested reliable in as much little time. According to the reliability of the patch, one would also assume that worst case scenarios involve *just* rolling back changes, again, not really loosing anything at all.
The problem with just rolling back is that if you rely on patches for security then that's rolled back too. So you do lose that. The other issue is enterprises that leave auto-updating on for all hosts and then don't have a reliable means to roll-back and certainly not for all the systems updated. -pete. -- Pete Herzog - Managing Director - pete () isecom org ISECOM - Institute for Security and Open Methodologies www.isecom.org - www.osstmm.org www.hackerhighschool.org - www.badpeopleproject.org _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
