Another month, another pile of patches from Microsoft . This month there are fourteen bulletins, addressing security vulnerabilities in Windows, Internet Explorer, Office, and the .NET framework. Four of the bulletins are rated Critical.
As usual, the updates will become available after 10am PST from Windows Update.
The SANS Internet Storm Center has a detailed look at the vulnerabilities addressed by this month’s patches.
The Microsoft Security Response Center has a somewhat friendlier summary of this month’s updates.
