Security Updates/Patches Effecting Sharepoint 2007/2013 on prem

Good Morning,
I was hoping someone could help me out. Our office is about to do some long overdue patching of our Windows Servers. I have been tasked with doing research to determine if there are any known issues with SP 2007 or SP 2013 on prem as a result
of patching servers. The only patches we plan to install at the moment are the important and critial patches. So my question is, is there one good place to find these answers or do you just have to search the web and hope you find something?
It seems to me that having one main location to log patch issues would be extremely helpful. Is there such place?
Thanks,
Nelson

In terms of SharePoint patches, there isn't an end-all-be-all source. Todd Klindt keeps a list of community-discovered issues here: http://toddklindt.com/blog/Lists/Posts/Post.aspx?ID=346. However, it will never be exhaustive. Your best bet is to
test all patches in a test environment prior to going to production.

HT1222 Weird security update Java for OS X 2013-003

Why is the security update Java for OS X 2013-003 causing my 15" rMBP to start displaying a flashing window asking me if I want to allow the application "java" to accept incoming network connections?
OS X 10.8.3

It appears that these errors are arising because:
Oracle Java has been installed on your system,
there is some add-on code that is running, and that is using Oracle Java components,
the add-on code is attempting to initiate network connections,
and the Oracle Java connections are failing.
Basically, there is Oracle Java code running here somewhere — code which is not part of OS X, as OS X 10.7 and later do not include Oracle Java by default — and this (unknown) code is using Oracle Java and the Java Virtual Machine (JVM), and the code is encountering some new "defensive' measures. Or is encountering an Oracle Java bug, which would be an Oracle issue with their Oracle Java product.
Y'all have to figure out what code is running here (and that is dependent on Oracle Java and the JVM), and if the code is expected and necessary here, to then work with the vendor to resolve the behavior here and/or upgrade to the provider's current version of the software.
Based on the DDService64d reference, there appears to be Drobo software here, and some Drobo software apparently requires Java and the JVM. Here is some information from Drobo. (There's a recommendation there to disable Gatekeeper, and — while that likely does resolve the issues referenced — I'd prefer to avoid disabling Gatekeeper in general.)
Again, figure out what's installed and using Java here. Remove it, upgrade it, or check with the vendor.
Oracle Java does have a recent history of various serious security issues, and it's common practice to disable the Oracle Java web-start plug-in, or to entirely avoid installing Oracle Java on OS X on 10.7 and later. If you're not using and don't need Oracle Java, then don't install it. If you've previously installed Oracle Java and don't need it (as is the case on OS X 10.7 and later), reportedly Oracle has a tool which can remove Oracle Java.
note: Oracle Java is completely different from JavaScript.

Will Apple still provide security updates\patches to iOS 5.1.1?

Can someone please confirm if will Apple still provide security updates and patches to iOS 5 (5.1.1)?
I really really hope the answer is YES because iOS 5 was released less then a year ago (October 12, 2011)... So I truly hope Apple is not throwing us under the bus here? I mean even Microsoft provides OS security patch support for 10 years so please NO fanboys or Apple defenders... just be real.

iOS 6 works perfectly fine for me.
Regarding your maps issue,
Apple is constantly working on improving their new Maps service, but until it reaches the level of finesse necessary to be usable, take a look at some alternatives.
If you would like to send a suggestion to Apple, please go to http://www.apple.com/feedback or you can Report a Problem via the Maps app by tapping the bottom right.
Bing Maps offers a very good maps service with Bird's Eye, a feature similar to Flyover. It's arguably better than Google Maps.

You can use Google Maps by creating a shortcut to the Home Screen with help from the article below.

Manual installation of Flash CS4 security update patch fails

Vista Home Premium
CS4 Design Premium
Am attempting to install Windows flash_player_update2_flash10
using the Admin account. Followed these instructions:
1. Quilt Flash CS4 Professional (NOTE: actually closed all
programs)
2. Right click flash_player_update2_flash10.zip
3. Select Extract All....
4. Extract the contents of the file to:
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Flash CS4\
5. When asked to replace the existing Players folder, choose
Yes
Shortly after giving administrative okay to the install and
clicking "yes" to the "copy and replace" popup, I get a Windows
popup with this message:
"Windows found that this file is potentially harmful. To help
portect your computer, Windows has blocked access to the file.
Name: FlashPlayer.exe" OK"
No options on the popup except "OK" whichs stops the
installation. I realize this is a Windows issue, but it's also a
CS4 installation issue. (I find it extremely ironic that Windows
detects the installation of a security update as a security issue.)
Any suggestions?

You're going to get a lot more attention in the Flash forum than you
will here.

SharePoint 2007 – 2013 migration List view webpart still shows 2010 look and feel even after visual upgrade run successfully in 2013.

I migrated one site collection from 2007 to 2013 environment. I did Visual upgrade on both 2010 & 2013 successfully. We have a strange issue with Listviewwebpart with group by functionality still shows 2010 look and feel.
If I manually edit that webpart and click ok the Listviewwebpart UI is showing the 2013 Look and feel. However I can’t manually update all the webparts because there are nearly
1500 subsites. I tried using console to update webpart but still not lucky
Following is 2010 look and feel in sp 2013 site:
expected look and feel should be as follows in sp 2013
Thanks, Ram Ch

Hi ramch011 ,
For your issue, you can force through an upgrade to the new user interface by using Windows PowerShell:
Verify that you meet the following minimum requirements: See Add-SPShellAdmin.
On the Start menu, click All Programs.
Click Microsoft SharePoint 2010 Products.

SharePoint Server 2013 farm software updates not available in SCCM

At my current customer, we are currently switching over to SCCM for all Software Update Management.
For now, the only issue we are experiencing is that we do not receive SharePoint updates on our SharePoint Server 2013 farm. With WSUS we can detect these, but they are not listed in SCCM. We sync directly with Windows Update.
It are specifically the updates that are marked as "farm-deployment", as you can see in example in this image.:
http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-gI8Ew7RlY0g/VPqM0QUn6oI/AAAAAAAAIDQ/S1Ufp0x-mSU/s1600/windows%2Bupdate%2Bincludes%2Bsharepoint%2B2013%2Bpatches.png
In the SUP properties, we have enabled the Office 2013 product and all classifications besides "Tools".
Am I missing something?

I could see these SharePoint updates in my SCCM console.
N.B. the question was about "farm-deployment" updates specifically.
Can you please post a screen-shot showing these updates in the SCCM-console?
This is from WSUS:

Sharepoint 2007 to Sharepoint 2010 migration

Hi,
Does Microsoft recommends/support below techniques for SharePoint 2007 to SharePoint 2010 migration?
Migrate SharePoint 2007 site to 2010 using save list as template technique: I use this technique. I have to delete all look up columns and add them again. Because I deleted all look up columns, I lost data of those columns. I am not able to update these
columns data using spreadsheet view copy and paste as those are look up columns. Please tell me what is the easy way to update these look up columns data. After I move it production again I have to do incremental update.
Migrate SharePoint 2007 site to 2010 using an Access table technique: This technique does not support all data types.
Migrate SharePoint 2007 site to 2010 using Power Shell STSADM command: As in my site there are some customization I am not able to migrate site using STSADM command. It is giving me errors.
Thanks,
Amit Khatri

hi
mentioned techniques can be used for copying the data across different web apps/farms within the same Sharepoint version (i.e. from SP2007 to SP2007 or from SP2010 to SP2010, but not from SP2007 to SP2010). If you need to perform upgrade from SP2007 to SP2010
you have 2 ways:
- in-place upgrade
- db attach upgrade
Check the following post for more details:

For the application server , Can someone help me to find what version I have ? Also , How do I apply the patch if needed .
I also do not know if the former DBA already installed the patch or not how do I find out ?
Thanks

Saeed,
You do not need to install any iAS rollup patch since you are on the latest one.
For Oracle HTTP Server security patches, you need to have Patch 3835781 installed. This is already explained in the following notes:

OLE broken after Cumulative Security Update for Internet Explorer KB3003057

Our product has been using the IWebBrowser OLE interface for many years but has failed since Cumulative Security Update for Internet Explorer KB3003057. What do we need to do to get this IWebBrowser interface working again.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa752127(v=vs.85).aspx
When we try to use the Navigate function it causes general access violations such.
Our code has not changed for several years so must something must have been chainged in the OLE/ActiveX library with this security update patch.
We are getting Access Violations when calling the IWebBrowswer :: Navigate function since this KB3003057 security
patch. If I uninstall the patch everything works normally again. When I re-install the KB3003057
patch the problem returns.
All our customers (many different computers in different offices) are getting this problem once they pick up the update. It is not specific to a particular computer and we are seeing it on Windows 7 and also Windows 8.
Thanks in advance for any advise you can offer.
Thanks,

I ignored this for sometime but today I lost my patience and decided to fix this nagging problem. The update prevented me from using the shutdown option as then it would download the updates and then fail over and over again.
None of the steps helped however they set me on a path. I uninstalled all unwanted programs but that was not what fixed the issue. I noticed other than Office 2007 I also had installed Word viewer 2007 , Excel viewer, Powerpoint viewer. I uninstalled these
voila!! Windows update said I don't need these updates on which the install was failing, I checked for updates again and the above updates never appeared in the list of updates found.
I thought I will put this out there just incase someone else runs into similar situation as me. Good Luck.

Item level update security in MS SharePoint 2007

Hi,
I am working on a requirement where restriction to update list items need to be made at row level. E.g. based on the data in the column of a row, the row will be available for editing to some users. I am looking for an approach to implement this requirement
in MS SharePoint 2007. Any help in this regards will be appreciated.

The easiest way to do this is to set individual item permissions using an event receiver when the item is added or saved. I did an example of this in a BLOG post a while ago. Here's the post.
http://www.dontpapanic.com/blog/?p=25
The example sets item level security based on the content type, but you can change the logic to whatever you like. One Note: This solution will not scale for use in a really large list. There is a limit on how many individual ACLs you can
have in a list. For 2007 I think it was 2,000.

Security Update 2007-001 patch for Windows

Hi, I am having no luck in finding the Security Update 2007-001 for Quicktime security patch for Windows XP.
Can someone please direct me to either the link to directly download the Windows version of the 2007-001 security patch, or a link to the Software Update tool in order to download this patch.

http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=304989
If Software Update was not installed during your QuickTime Player install you'll need to uninstall it, re-install and include Software Update software.
Is that enough install?

Differences between SharePoint 2007 and 2013 security options?

Hi,
We just did a test upgrade from Sharepoint 2007 to Sharepoint 2013 by copying over the content database. One thing we are noticing is that users who had permissions to upload to a document library no longer have that option in 2013. Is there a difference
between the 2007 and 2013 "contribute" permission?
What can I do to fix this issue?
thanks,
Sherazad

their is no difference between 2007 & 2013 for Contribute premission.
Contribute having the same rights in 2007 and 2010.
Read permissions, plus:
Add Items
Edit Items
Delete Items
Delete Versions
Browse Directories
Edit Personal User Information
Manage Personal Views
Add/Remove Personal Web Parts
Update Personal Web Parts

Office 2013: where the heck are the security updates hiding?

I built a deployment for Office 2013 yesterday. The source files were downloaded from Microsoft, with SP1 integrated. This is *not* a "Click to Run" deployment. I used the Office Customization Tool to make a few changes (we're
not using OneDrive, so that piece isn't getting installed. I disabled the "First Run" and Customer Experience stuff, and disabled RSS Feeds and SharePoint integration. And I put in our volume license key. Overall it's a pretty vanilla
build.)
I wanted to include all available security updates since SP1 has been released, and stick them into the "Updates" folder of my deployment. So after I installed Office 2013 x64 on my Windows 7 x64 system (the base package that I built installs
just fine), I went to Windows Update to see what was available. There is nothing there. I rebooted, and tried again. Still nothing. If I go into one of the Office 2013 apps, and go to File -> Account, I do *not* have any "Update"
buttons or options.
If I go to Windows Update in my Control Panel, and click "Change Settings", I have two things checked. "Give me recommended updates the same way I receive important updates", and "Allow all users to install updates on this
computer." There are no other options to look for alternative Microsoft products, or at least no options that I can find. This is Windows 7 x64 SP1, fully patched.
I know that there have been security updates released for Office 2013 since SP1 came out in February 2014. I manually downloaded a security patch for Lync 2013, and installed that MSP onto this test system with no
issues. So there are applicable security updates out there. So why in the world can't I find the updates through the normal mechanisms? Ideally, we'd want for end users to be able to install security updates manually in an
emergency, but either I'm missing something, or that is not possible in Office 2013. Hopefully distributing Office 2013 updates through SCCM will work, but from what I'm seeing so far, I'm not sure the machines will be "detected" as having
Office 2013, because right now it can't even scan itself against Windows Update for that product.
Thanks for any input...I'm quite baffled at how the update routine is supposed to be functioning in Office 2013. I think the missing link is why I can't choose to search for "other" Microsoft products from the Windows Update panel.
The option/checkbox is totally gone.

Hi,
By default Windows Update only updates Windows itself. To get updates for Office and for any other Microsoft products as well, you will need to upgrade your Windows Update to Microsoft Update.
On Windows Update panel, click "Find out more" link to install Microsoft Update.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,

SharePOint Security Updates/Bulletins?

By installing SharePoint 2013 Security Bulletins mean no need to install previous updates or do we need to install all old security bulletins as well?
Tariq Younas

Assumes by Security Bulletins you mean Service Pack or Cumulative update. In both the case no need to install previous ones.
In both the case you need to test it in non production to verify it wont affect any of your SharePoint systems.
