Microsoft will issue four "critical" and three
"important" security patches next Tuesday (9 October) as part of
itsmonthly patching cycle.
The four critical patches aim to tackle threats against the
Windows OS - both server and client versions,
Outlook Express, Internet Explorer and Microsoft Word.
Critical patches tackle threats that allow remote attackers to
compromise a user's machine without any interaction on their
part.
The three "important" patches address issues in the server and
client versions of Windows, and Windows SharePoint.
