Hi all,

>It might be an interesting experience to hear what actually happens on
>Microsoft Patch Tuesday.

It might be, but it varies from month to month and if there is
pre-existing knowledge of the vulnerabilities. A much more boring
story is when we find a hole, and have to wait six+ months (or longer)
for someone to fix it.

>How many open source submissions do you
>actually receive on that day?

Renaud can comment on this. I don't track those statistics for Tenable
because there are not that many.

>How soon after a patch is released does a
>test get deployed?

Depends on the patch. We strive for same-day.

>Then how long do we have to wait until it is part of
>the feed?  I think the answer to the last question is 7 days if I recall
>from an earlier post.

You are correct, seven days.
