In some cases you have to install other patches first (this should be obvious to most of you). As an example if you don't upgrade to media player 9 then you don't get the security patch for the command execution vuln. As an other example you may have 3 patches to install right now and one of them is a Service pack... after the SP install you may find that you now have 20 things to patch.
Feel free to correct me if I am wrong... -KF adam.richards wrote:

Are there security updates for windows xp that aren't posted on the windows update site? When I go to windowsupdate.microsoft.com, of all categories, I'm missing only 2 recommended updates (journal viewer, and windows messenger update). however, when I run MS baseline Security Analyzer ver 1.2, it tells me I have 5 security updates that are out of date or could not be confirmed: MS02-050, MS02-054, MS02-072, MS03-030, MS03-051. These I will manually update, but why the discrepancy? -jamie- _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
