Patch Tuesday: Microsoft to release 6 patches, 1 critical
Microsoft announced today that next week's Patch Tuesday will be the lightest of 2012, with six security bulletins and just one rated critical.
The critical patch will pertain to all Windows customers as it addresses a vulnerability that affects the entire family of the operating system, up to and including Windows 7.
Four of the patches address vulnerabilities in Windows, including the critical patch for a remote code execution vulnerability and the moderate patch for a denial-of-service exploit. The remaining two patches, both rated important, target an elevation of privilege vulnerability in Visual Studio and a remote code execution in Expression Design, respectively.
