were there any patches after Dec 14 2004?

TheMSsForum.com: The Microsoft Software Forum

There is a rash of articles about an IE hole (including the one below) that
suggest there was another patch after Tuesday Dec 14 but I'm not clear on
that. The latest patches I could find in microsoft.com were not after Dec.
14.

Norton also had an update for the Bafor worm quite a while ago.

I have XP SP1 - is the new problem just for SP2?

The fix referenced is at
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;886185

And yes, it is only for SP2 as it effects the scoping of exceptions on the
Windows Firewall. It has nothing to do with IE. The major IE patch was
released out-of-cycle on December 1st. The summary of all the December
bulletins can be found at

Thanks Bob - By the way, why is the patch mentioned in the first link not
mentioned at all in the second link? Which is one of the pages I always
check.

Also the first link says something about Dec. 18 when the patch was in fact
released Dec. 14.

I really don't have a good answer for that one. For whatever reason, MSRC
has not released KB 886185 as a security bulletin. However, it was released
as a Critical Update for Windows XP SP2 under Windows Update and SUS.
