Microsoft Issues Critical Out-of-Cycle Patch for Word, Excel Flaws
Late Wednesday, Microsoft released an out-of-cycle critical patch revision in the form of Security Bulletin MSO7-025 in an effort to stave off a barrage of remote code execution (RCE) exploits that popped up less than two weeks after Redmond's March patch rollout.
In the last Patch Tuesday release on March 11, Microsoft issued four critical patches that were said to plug holes related to 12 known vulnerabilities for Excel, Outlook, Office 2000 and Office Web Components.
