Why MS11-100 was Out Of Band

: @orinthomas According to the recent OOB Bulletin Q&A and Webcast, MS11-100 was pushed out because exploiting the vulnerability in a denial of service attack was relatively straightforward once details of the vulnerability were made public. MS11-100 does not address a vulnerability that could be used to directly trigger a remote code exploit. MS11-100 also fixes an elevation of privilege vulnerability and a spoofing vulnerability that were otherwise going to be address in January’s patch Tuesday.
