MS Patch Tuesday: Critical IE, Office, Excel patches coming!

Oh boy... I can't wait for that little shield to popup in my tray tomorrow morning... LOL...

Tuesday (August 12th), Microsoft will ship 12 security bulletins with fixes for serious vulnerabilities in a wide range of of widely deployed products.

Seven of the 12 bulletins will be rated “critical,” Microsoft’s highest severity rating.

The critical bulletins will cover remotely exploitable flaws in Internet Explorer, Windows Media Player, MS Excel, MS PowerPoint, MS Access, MS Office and the Windows operating system.

The other five will carry an “important” rating and will include patches for bugs in Windows, Outlook Express, Windows Mail, Windows Messenger and Microsoft Word.

Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008 are affected by five of the bulletins.

It is very likely that the critical MS Access fix is for a known — and under attack — ActiveX control vulnerability in the Snapshot Viewer for Microsoft Access.
