Patch Tuesday to bring DLL fixes?
Microsoft has given its standard breakdown of the security updates coming next week. As usual there are no specific details of what they fix, but the numbers suggest at least some fixes for the dynamic link library issues in individual applications.
The company has listed nine bulletins (four “critical”, five “important”) for 13 vulnerabilities, which automatically stands out being that most months the figure is much higher or lower.
When you consider that the main reason for that feast-or-famine pattern is that fixes for the notoriously buggy Internet Explorer only come in alternating months, and that this is an IE-free update, it becomes clear that this month is a little busier than might be expected.
