We’ve had a few questions regarding critical updates and WSUSSCN2.CAB so I thought I’d publish a quick explainer in case you were wondering the same.
Question: Is security advisory KB2719615 going to be added for Microsoft Update Catalog in the near future?
Answer: The WSUSSCN2.CAB offline CAB file only contains security updates, service packs and update rollups.
KB2719615 is a critical update, so like all other MSRC security advisories that are released as a Critical Update, it will not be in the WSUSSCN2.CAB for use by SMS 2003 and MBSA. However, it is available via Windows and Automatic updates for consumers. It is also available via WSUS Server (which includes ConfigMgr 2007 and ConfigMgr 2012, Intune, SBS, SCE and MBSA) and the MU Catalog site.
SMS 2003 customers should use standard software distribution as they did for the previous cert revocation updates.
Note that the above also applies to KB2718704.
