Microsoft to release four critical patches next week |
Microsoft has announced plans to issue four "critical" security
bulletins next week that address vulnerabilities in Windows, Internet
Explorer, Outlook Express and Windows Mail in Vista. "Critical" is the
most severe ranking Microsoft assigns to security flaws, which
typically indicates a system can be compromised remotely with little
interaction required by the user. Specifically, Windows XP Service Pack
2, Windows Server 2003, IE 5.01 running on Windows 2000 with SP4 and
Windows Mail in Vista are among the affected software. There are six
bulletins in total according to Microsoft's advance advisory
notification, all of which will be released next Tuesday as part of
Microsoft’s monthly “Patch Tuesday” ritual.
