14 DAY TRIAL // Just as we told you last week, Microsoft is getting ready to release this month’s Patch Tuesday updates to fix vulnerabilities in several important software products, including Windows, Office, Internet Explorer and Silverlight.
Four critical updates will be released in less than 24 hours, three of which are designed to fix remote code execution vulnerabilities in Internet Explorer, Office and Silverlight.
There are also three other patches labeled as important and developed to fix issues found in Office and Windows.
All Internet Explorer versions are once again affected by critical flaws, so this should be the first bulletin deployed by system administrators on Patch Tuesday, Wolfgang Kandek, CTO at security provider Qualys, said in a blog post.
“It fixes critical vulnerabilities that could be used for machine takeover in all versions of Internet Explorer from 6 to 10, on all platforms including Windows 8 and Windows RT,” he explained.
