Microsoft Patches 18 Security Flaws
Microsoft Corp. today released seven security updates to address 18 separate flaws in its Windows operating systems and Office software, including 13 problems that earned a "critical" severity rating.
Microsoft labels a security hole as "critical" if it can be used to hijack vulnerable machines without any action on the part of the user. All but two of the flaws addressed in today's patches can be exploited on some version of either Microsoft Office or Windows to let attackers seize total control over a vulnerable system.
Brian Krebs from Computer Security reviews the updates HERE.
Microsoft will also host a webcast, which is devoted to attendees asking questions about the bulletins and getting answers from security experts.
