How does MBSA identify a single bulletin that includes multiple products?
Updates for multiple products within the same bulletin will be shown as different product families in the Issue column of the report summary. Each product-specific variation within the bulletin typically includes a different Knowledge Base article number, however in some cases, there could be multiple updates within the same product category. For example, if a security bulletin applies to both Windows Media Player and SQL Server, the report summary lists two separate issues, with two separate Result Details to be viewed. In this example, each item would have the same bulletin ID, the standard naming convention for update titles would include the Knowledge Base article number, and the Description column would link to the support article Web page for the issue. Another example is when more than one product exists within the same family, such as Windows Messenger and Windows Media Player (both are components of Windows).
