New Microsoft OSes Hit by Patch Tuesday Shrapnel
The company's batch of Patch Tuesday updates come with fixes for "critical" remote code execution flaws affecting Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008.
Two of Microsoft's newest operating systems—Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008—are vulnerable to serious remote code execution attacks, according to a warning from the software giant.
The "critical" warning comes April 8 as part of Microsoft's April batch of Patch Tuesday updates, which include eight security bulletins covering at least 10 documented software vulnerabilities.
The biggest eye-opener is the "high-risk" severity of the patches that apply to Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008, the two operating systems touted by Microsoft as its most secure ever.
