Seven new Microsoft security patches coming tomorrow
Microsoft next week expects to release seven patches to cover vulnerabilities across its product line.
According to the software giant's advance notification announced Thursday, four of the bulletins are rated "critical," while three earned "important" designations. They address flaws in Internet Explorer (IE), Windows, Office, Server Software and Silverlight.
The high-priority fix appears to be a cumulative patch that will correct flaws across all supported versions of IE. Attackers can exploit these weaknesses to launch drive-by download attacks against users who unknowingly visit an infected website.
