Bulletin Severity Rating:Important - This security update resolves a publicly disclosed vulnerability in Windows Backup Manager. The vulnerability could allow remote code execution if a user opens a legitimate Windows Backup Manager file that is located in the same network directory as a specially crafted library file. For an attack to be successful, a user must visit an untrusted remote file system location or WebDAV share and open the legitimate file from that location, which in turn could cause Windows Backup Manager to load the specially crafted library file.

Hi everyone, I'm sure this is a dumb question. On our server, I created a self signed certificate w/ Server 2008 to be loaded on remote computers. Server 2008 created an installcertificate run file and the certificate file which I can save to a disk and use on 32-bit home machines for remote access to computers on the server. However, I just bought a laptop w/ a 64-bit os and when I save the files onto the laptop and try to launch the installcertificate file, it tells me it can't because it was basically made for a 32-bit machine. Do I need to find a way to launch the .exe from a 64-bit machine? or do I need to create another certificate install file that can be…
