Four Fixes For Patch Tuesday

Microsoft has just four fixes, two deemed critical and two called important, set for its monthly Patch Tuesday.

Yes, it’s that time of the month again. Tomorrow is Patch Tuesday, and Microsoft has announced it will be releasing just four fixes for February, two of them ‘critical’ and two ‘important.’

The first critical fix addresses flaws in Internet Explorer 7 in both XP and Vista, the although Server 2003 and Server 2008 systems are just considered moderate risks.

However, the server systems do get a ‘critical’ patch for flaws in the SQL Server engine.

The two ‘important’ patches are for vulnerabilities in Exchange Server 2000, 2003 and 2007, and for a flaw in the Microsoft Office Visio diagram-building tool that addresses vulnerabilities in Visio 2002, 2003 and 2007.
