This is the bit I am still trying to understand. On CrowdStrike you can define how many updates a host is behind. I.e. n (latest), n-1 (one behind) or n-2 etc. This update was applied to a 'latest' policy hosts and the n-2 hosts. To me it appears that there was more to this than just a corrupt update, otherwise how was this policy ignored? Unless it doesn't separate the update as deeply and maybe just a small policy aspect, which would also be very concerning.

I guess we won't really know until they release the post mortem...
