Six Security Fixes Expected on Patch Tuesday
On Tuesday, Microsoft is planning to roll out six fixes -- three "critical" and three "important" -- in its July security update.
The security issues expected to be addressed in this patch include four remote code execution (RCE) vulnerabilities and two elevation-of-privilege considerations. Affected programs range from Windows operating system components, to servers, to a fix for Microsoft Publisher.
"This is a critical month for Microsoft with published bug reports and attack code in the wild," noted Andrew Storms, director of security at nCircle.
