Hello,

Security Update for Windows Server 2012 R2 (KB3042553) has been advised to be critical update to deal with Vulnerability in HTTP.sys which could allow remote code execution.

However due to some reason I am unable to apply the patch to any of the Windows 2012 R2 servers. It errors - The update is not applicable to your computer, when tried to install manually / locally.

I tried to push it via WSUS and the patch is not getting detected by the servers.

Regional language settings are set to match Windows display language (Which is English).

Is anyone else experiencing this issue too? If so is there way to get this deployed please.

Hi Kumar,

I suggest you check the file version of Http.sys and compare it with the one documented in the KB article below:

Hi,

I suggest you use the method within the thread below to analyze why the update cannot be installed through logs:

Hi Kumar,

We had the same issue on our server, same http.sys version 6.3.9600.16384.
The problem has been solved by applying Microsoft kb 2919355, it's a cumulative update (700 Mb).
