Trend Micro reports that August is becoming one of Mircosoft’s busiest months terms of security fixes. Last week we saw Microsoft issue updates for the LNK Vulnerability during an out-of-cycle patch and this months Patch Tuesday saw a record number of bullentins released – 14 in total.
Of the 14 vulnerabilities issued, 8 have been classified as criticial updates with the remaining 6 branded important. Interestingly, all versions of Windows are apparently affected by at least one of these vunerabililies and of the 8 critical vulnerabilities, atleast 1 specifically affets security flaws in Microsoft Office. Another is a security fix for Silverlight and predictably Internet Explorer is also in the mix.
