Wow, what a weird confluence of events

If MS knew it would drive people to actually use their app store, they would have created the CVE themselves.

They kinda did.

Did the same and it quickly updated itself when I went into the "Paint" page (but I had to go there first). No indication of what just happened a few seconds later.

For a split second, I visualized you walking into a brick and mortar Microsoft Store to get your security update done on your laptop, and somewhere in the middle of that split second I caught myself thinking „typical Microsoft“, and then I came to my senses.

For some reason, I had the same idea.

You made a slip. Thats Apple you are talking about, and it actually happens.

If brick and mortar Apple stores are staffed by "Geniuses"...

or block ms paint aswell.

why get package after something that is obviously a malicious backdoor?

If I still mamaged any windows host, i would be deploying a remove-package script asap to the entire fleet.

What kind of nonsense are you writing here right now? When the next Linux kernel CVE happens, you'll also delete all the kernels from your fleete because they're a malicious backdoor?

When did y'all stop using some basic sense before writing? -_-

>When did y'all stop using some basic sense before writing? -_-

Yeah samesame:

-Compares a kernel with paint

-Uses a program with telemetry/spyware instead of installing on of the 1000s alternatives

It's a built-in tool of the OS, not some random spyware. Stop with the bizarre hyperbole.

>It's a built-in tool of the OS, not some random spyware

Oh no dont get me wrong, it's not random spyware, it's deliberately made spyware by Microsoft targeted at Windows Users.

Great time to jump to the openbsd kernel!

Windows Update and Store are slowly becoming the same, and Paint gets delivered via the store for quite some time, there was even some drama related to it.
