Microsoft's November Patch Tuesday is a whopper
Microsoft is offering a bumper crop of security patches next week as part of its traditional Patch Tuesday fix fiesta.
A total of 16 patches are on the way this month, five of which are labelled 'Critical'. All five affect Windows and one also involves Internet Explorer.
Office, Exchange, Server and the .NET framework also have fixes. Five patch remote code execution exploits, seven tackle issues of elevated permissions, two fix security bypasses, one fixes a denial of service flaw and one plugs an information leak. In addition, there'll be the usual update for the Microsoft Malicious Software Removal Tool.
