I just received a failure on our PCI scan and one of the failures was for KB982666. &nbsp;We have SBS 2011 Standard 64bit SP1 and the WSUS server shows that I do not need that security update. &nbsp;But if you read the bulletin it says I don't and that I do. <br />
<br />
&quot;<b>Is my computer vulnerable if I have not installed KB973917?</b> <br />
Systems running supported editions of Windows Server 2003, Windows Vista, and Windows Server 2008 that do not have KB973917 installed are not vulnerable. Systems running supported editions of Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 are vulnerable.&quot;<br />
<br />
And actually there were 4 security bulletins that were given for the failure and all the KB security updates in them our server shows they are not needed. &nbsp;I am not sure if I should be downloading these manually and install them. &nbsp;Any suggestions?

A vulnerability is a weakness which allows an attacker to reduce a system's information assurance. Vulnerability is the intersection of three elements: a system susceptibility or flaw, attacker access to the flaw, and attacker capability to exploit the flaw. To exploit a vulnerability, an attacker must have at least one applicable tool or technique that can connect to a system weakness, known as the attack surface. Vulnerability management is the cyclical practice of identifying, classifying, remediating, and mitigating vulnerabilities. Other vulnerabilities include security risks, security defects and constructs in programming languages that are difficult to use properly.

Operating system security (OS security) is the process of ensuring OS integrity, confidentiality and availability. OS security refers to specified steps or measures used to protect the OS from threats, viruses, worms, malware or remote hacker intrusions. OS security encompasses all preventive-control techniques, which safeguard any computer assets capable of being stolen, edited or deleted if OS security is compromised, including authentication, passwords and threats to systems and programs.
