MS12-024 breaks ICA, and fix is to install files from 2008?


reading article ms12-024 here http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2653956 it says known issue can break rdp , ica connections, , fix install the 958476 hotfix http://support.microsoft.com/kb/958476 whose files have timestamps of 2008 on them. 

why fix problem install files 4 years old , assuming vulnerable security flaws, why they've been updated since subsequent post-2008 patches?

something doesn't sound right me.  microsoft going fix broke in ms12-024 in future patch? if so, eta?
