Microsoft might deploy Broadcom’s wireless driver patch

Software giant Microsoft has not exactly committed to deploying patches for the widespread flaw in Broadcom’s wireless driver. However, they just might deliver it to the users a patch through Windows Update.

The company said in a statement: “Microsoft is investigating the customer impact of a vulnerability in Broadcom’s wireless driver, and is working with Broadcom to determine the best way to help protect Windows users who have the vulnerable driver installed.”

The statement further said: “In general, Microsoft only distributes third-party security updates through the standard Microsoft update mechanisms, such as Microsoft Update, Windows Update, and Automatic Update, if the affected third-party software is distributed by Microsoft.”

The company recently delivered a patch for Flash Player through their own update mechanism in May this year. Flash is an Adobe product.
