More bugs in mssecure.xml:

MS03-043 for Windows Server 2003, in the XML:
<Patch PatchName="WindowsServer2003-KB828035-x86-ENU.exe"
PatchLocationID="2093" SBID="0" SQNumber="828035" NoReboot="1">
...
  <Location LocationID="2093"
Path="http://download.microsoft.com/download/7/2/8/728276AF-582D-4283-8B6C-3
A9C65F65E32/WindowsServer2003-KB828035-x86-ENU.exe" AbsolutePath=""/>

This gives a 404.

There's a lot more of those that I still have to slog through, but I'll let
MS do their own QA. If you're using SUS (as opposed to SMS) it may just be
failing silently, so you may want to check your logs.

If Microsoft wants everyone to rely on mssecure.xml, then they had better
make sure it's right before pusing it out the door. Patches are monthly
now, they should have had plenty of time.

Marcus Ranum's new book "The Myth of Homeland Security" is now out and
is available from http://www.amazon.com/ranum In this hard-hitting
review of the homeland security business, Ranum shows us how the problem
is vastly harder than it's being made to sound, and how special
interests, butt covering, and bureaucracy are threatening to derail any
chance of making progress.
