| News item on today's patches:
»www.securityfocus.com/brief/868
Microsoft's last regularly scheduled update for the year closed 28 documented security holes, the most flaws fixed since the software giant moved over to monthly patches, according to one security firm.
The eight software updates released by the company on Tuesday closed six security issues in the ActiveX controls for Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0's Runtime Extended Files, all of which could allow remote code execution if a user visited a malicious Web site, Microsoft stated. A second update solved four memory-corruption issues in the company's browser, Internet Explorer. Two other fixes corrected a total of 11 vulnerabilities in Microsoft Word and Excel.
The eight updates also included fixes for security issues in Microsoft's graphics library, Windows' search functionality, Windows Media Components and a single vulnerability in Microsoft Office SharePoint Server.
Symantec stated that the collection of patches fixes the most vulnerabilities in a monthly update since Microsoft started its regularly scheduled patch program.

1 edit | Thanks for the heads up to all noting that all was going well for you guys. Also to DP for noting the updates in the first place. My motto is never install until coming here to see if there is any problem once finding out that there is an update. | |
