[New-bugs-announce] [issue29740] Visual C++ CRT security update from 14 June 2011

[Markus]

New submission from Markus:

In 14 June 2011 Microsoft released Visual C++ 2008 runtime MFC Security Update https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=26368

The Security Update also updates the CRT runtime (used by Python 2.7)

Without the security update, Python 2.7.13 uses vc90.crt 9.0.30729.4940
With the security  update, Python 2.7.13 uses vc90.crt 9.0.30729.6161
(Use e.g. Sysinternals procexp to see)

Why does Python not install the vc90.crt of the security update?
