Microsoft will release six security updates on Tuesday
10 July to address flaws attackers could exploit to launch
malicious code and access sensitive information on victims'
machines.
Affected products range from Office to multiple versions of
Windows, including
Vista, and according to
the advance bulletin Microsoft released on 5
July , three of the updates will be rated critical, two
important and one as moderate.
All the critical updates are for remote execution flaws and
affect Windows, Office, Excel and the .Net Framework. The two
important updates will fix remote code execution flaws in Windows
XP Professional, Office and Publisher, and the one moderate
bulletin will fix an information disclosure flaw in Vista.
As it does every month, Microsoft will also update its Malicious
Software removal tool and hold a
Webcast Wednesday at 11 a.m. Pacific Time.
Microsoft will also release five non-security, high-priority
updates.
