Microsoft promises lightweight Patch Tuesday
Microsoft will issue two bulletins addressing eight flaws in Windows and Office for this month's Patch Tuesday.
Both bulletins are listed as important - Microsoft's second highest alert rating - and will address flaws that could allow remote code execution in all supported versions of Office on Windows and Mac OS X, and Windows XP and higher.
There was no word on a fix for the VBScript security issue exposed earlier this week, which allows hackers to hijack a user’s computer by getting them to press F1 on a phony site. However, announcing the bulletins on Microsoft’s security blog, senior security communications manager Jerry Bryant said that Microsoft would continue to monitor the situation.
