Microsoft slates 7 security updates for next week, resurrects Exchange fix
Microsoft today announced it will release seven security updates on Tuesday, three of them critical, to patch Internet Explorer (IE), Windows, various pieces of the Office suite, and the SharePoint and Exchange server software.
The Exchange update was originally intended to ship last month, but Microsoft pulled it at the last minute because of a problem with the installer package for Exchange Server 2013.
The seven "bulletins," as Microsoft calls its updates, sketched out in today's advance notice were just half the number the Redmond, Wash. company shipped in November, and the fewest since September. "This month is a bit quieter than last month's barrage," said Chris Goettl, Shavlik product manager, in an email.
