Microsoft is planning to release nine security bulletins in the July Patch Tuesday update to address bugs in a number of products, including Windows, Internet Explorer and Microsoft Office. Microsoft plans to release nine security bulletins July 10 to cover 16 vulnerabilities as part of the monthly Patch Tuesday software fixes. According to Microsoft, three of the bulletins are rated "critical," and deal with issues affecting Windows and Internet Explorer. The remaining six bulletins are classified by Microsoft as "important," and involve issues affecting Microsoft Office, Developer Tools, Windows and Microsoft Server Software. "The most interesting Bulletins are 1, 3 and 4. For 1 and 3, these are really appealing to an attacker because they are remote-code executions of almost every version of Windows," said Alex Horan, senior product manager, CORE Security. "It’s a widely deployed base and the same vulnerability across
all those operating systems. You write the exploit once and with tweaks, it can exploit all of them."..Learn more about the upcoming Windows Updates at windows8newsinfo forum. |
