After last month’s huge patch release, things calm in September, with just five bulletins in Microsoft’s monthly security patch.
Next Tuesday sees the release of Microsoft’s monthly security patch, and this time five bulletins are anticipated, one critical and four important.
The critical flaw – critical being Microsoft’s highest rating – relates to Windows OS, is caused by a remote code execution. A second bulletin focuses on another remote codeexecution bug that affects MSN Messengers 6.2, 7.0, 7.5 and Windows Live Messenger 8.0. A third bulletin deals with a remote code execution flaw in Visual Studio, while the advancenotification alert issued by Microsoft noted that a fourth will deal with Windows Vista. This is a calmer month than August, which saw the biggest patch release of the year, which saw ninesecurity bulletins covering a total of 14 vulnerabilities.
