Overview

KB5061198 is a May 2025 security and quality rollup update for Windows Server 2008. This update addresses security vulnerabilities and includes quality improvements. The update is specifically targeted at both x64 and x86-based systems running Windows Server 2008 with Service Pack 2.

General Purpose

The primary purpose of this update is to address security vulnerabilities in Windows Server 2008, particularly focusing on the Windows Ancillary Function Driver (AFD) for WinSock. The AFD component is a kernel-mode driver that provides support for the WinSock API and manages TCP/IP communications protocol. The update specifically addresses CVE-2025-32709, which affects the WinSock functionality.

General Sentiment

The sentiment around this update appears cautious but necessary. While it addresses important security vulnerabilities, there are some installation prerequisites and potential issues that administrators need to be aware of. The update requires the latest Servicing Stack Update (SSU KB5056457) to be installed first, which adds an extra step to the deployment process.

Known Issues

  • After installing and restarting, devices might receive the error 'Failure to configure Windows updates. Reverting Changes'
  • Update might show as Failed in Update History
  • Installation may fail if the device is not running an edition supported for ESU
  • Installation requires an active ESU MAK add-on key
