MS October Patch Tuesday To Bring Nine Fixes
Microsoft plans to fix several holes in the security of Windows during its monthly "Patch Tuesday" release next week, including at least one deemed "critical." Eight of the patches will deal with problems in the operating system, and one will fix a flaw in the company's Exchange Server.
While Microsoft is never specific as to what it will be patching ahead of the actual release, eWeek is reporting that at least one fix with deal with code execution vulnerabilities within Internet Explorer. Along with the monthly patches, Microsoft also said late Thursday that it plans to release an updated version of its Windows Malicious Software Tool. The program removes malware from an infected computer automatically.
Microsoft had planned to release one critical patch last month, but the update was scrapped after Microsoft discovered a "quality issue." It is unclear if the September fix has made it into this month's updates.
