Patch author to invent a way to get some free space in the code forĪdditional patch logic by de-optimizing a memory-copying routine. Instance, Microsoft's manual patches of Equation Editor required the
You patch executable files directly, you may have to come up with aĭifferent clever space-saving hack for each patch, which can sometimesīe very difficult and time-consuming. Furthermore, while they aren't new to manually patchingĮxecutables, such patching can sometimes be fairly difficult to do. Reveals that, for whatever reason, their standard patching processĬannot be applied to Equation Editor, and a deviation like that can beĮxpensive. Their manual patching of its recently discovered vulnerability Microsoft's unwillingness to continue supporting Equation Editor is understandable.

They did not specify the basis upon which the phrase "without security issues" was provided, but MathType seems to have a clean public security record so far. Microsoft suggested affected users can "edit Equation Editor 3.0 equations without security issues" with Wiris Suite's MathType, a commercial application that costs $97 ($57 academic).
