Microsoft yesterday released six security patches, with
five of them described as “critical” by the company.
The five critical updates include a cumulative security update
for the Internet Explorer browser, and a fix for the Microsoft
Agent technology in Windows.
In addition, there are updates for the Windows version of
Macromedia Flash Player from Adobe, a fix for the Workstation
Service technology in Windows, and a solution for the widely
reported problem in Microsoft XML Core Services.
All these vulnerabilities could allow remote attackers to take
over users’ machines with no user interaction required to open up
their systems to attacks.
The sixth patch, described as “important” by Microsoft, is a fix
to plug a hole in Windows’ Client Service for NetWare software.
