Re: KB943460 and Windows XP SP2 MUI

Frankly speaking, this is a Critical Security update issued because there is an active exploit of the vulnerability discussed here:
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/advisory/943521.mspx

Microsoft Security Bulletin MS07-061 – Critical
Vulnerability in Windows URI Handling Could Allow Remote Code Execution (943460)
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/MS07-061.mspx

Microsoft has not identified any workarounds for this vulnerability.

You really need to get this update installed ASAP !
Not reporting it so that MS is unaware of the issue you've experienced is not wise in this situation.
It's a NO-CHARGE support case.

I am using Windows XP SP2 MUI (Default English, Second user Arabic). After appling KB943460 update the Arabic user interface started to show items in English only and sometimes Mixed menus (Some English other Arabic). AFAIK the KB943460 update modifies the shell files. So I tried to uninstall the update and the interface went bak to normal (showing shell menus in the correct language).

Do I need to wait for an update to this patch or maybe a MUI update?
Did anyone with MUI applied had this problem?
