  • 1.  MS15-091: Microsoft Edge Update

    Posted Aug 14, 2015 07:45 AM

    Microsoft released MS15-091 which is an update for their new Edge browser available on Windows 10 but I can't seem to figure out the what category it is under for the PM import. 

    Does anyone know if that's been released by Symantec yet and if so, where it's filed under?

    Never have seen Edge in the pmimport. Cannot even remember when Windows 10 sneaked in.

    There also is a nice gap between MS15-090 and MS15-092.

    I'd probably refer you back to Symantec's Early Support Statement on Windows 10.  Edge is only available for Win10 and likely is not yet supported by Patch.

    Here's the response I got from the product team:

    MS15-091 is covered under CSWU-003(Q3081436): Cumulative update for Windows 10: August 11, 2015

     

    If you look at the KB (https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/3081436), you will see one patch covers 6 bulletins.  If we added the same patch under each bulletin it would show missing 6 times.  We chose to add it under a bulletin for Cumulative Security Update.

    They also noted that it's unclear yet as to whether or not MS will consider Edge a separate product.  If they don't ship it for Windows 7 or 8.x then they'll likely treat it as a Windows 10 feature and Symantec will consider Edge updates to be included in the Windows 10 product.

    Excellent, thanks for looking into that.  It also answers a question I had about how Patch was going to deal with the new Windows 10 update mechanism which, as I understand it, lumps everything together every month.
