New Cumulative Updates for SQL Server 2005 SP2 / SP3

Some new updates just posted by SQL Server Release Services:

For SQL Server 2005 SP2, build 9.0.3355:

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/974647

For SQL Server 2005 SP3, build 9.00.4266:

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/974648

On first glance, it does not appear that the security updates last week were included in the hotfix for SP2.  (See Jonathan's post.)

The SP2 KB also has a misleading link that does not match the description in the CU16 KB article. Just follow the 975860 link from the CU16 KB.

Thanks Chris, I am waiting on a response from CSS to help clarify the issue.  Basically, now it looks like the SP2 CU has the security patch, but the SP3 CU doesn't.  Hopefully this is just a KB issue.
