Microsoft is distributing six security patches as part
of its scheduled monthly patching cycle.
For June, there are four “critical” patches, one “important”
patch, and one “moderately important” fix.
The
critical patches address vulnerabilities in
the Windows Schannel Security Package, the Internet Explorer
browser, Outlook Express and Windows Mail, and the Win32
API.
All these patches prevent remote code execution by hackers, said
Microsoft. The “important” patch also prevents remote code
execution in Microsoft Visio, and the moderately important fix
prevents information disclosure in the Windows Vista OS.
