Software giant Microsoft has not exactly committed to deploying patches for the widespread flaw in Broadcom’s wireless driver. However, they just might deliver it to the users a patch through Windows Update.

The company said in a statement: “Microsoft is investigating the customer impact of a vulnerability in Broadcom’s wireless driver, and is working with Broadcom to determine the best way to help protect Windows users who have the vulnerable driver installed.”

The statement further said: “In general, Microsoft only distributes third-party security updates through the standard Microsoft update mechanisms, such as Microsoft Update, Windows Update, and Automatic Update, if the affected third-party software is distributed by Microsoft.”

The company recently delivered a patch for Flash Player through their own update mechanism in May this year. Flash is an Adobe product.
