Two Critical Microsoft Updates for April
8 May, 2010 -- Next Tuesday's patch day looks light, with
only two Critical Microsoft Security Bulletins
According to
their Advance
Notification, Microsoft will release one Windows and one Office
security bulletin on Tuesday, May 11. Microsoft rates both as critical,
so you should plan to download, test, and install them as soon as you
can. That said, two bulletins should be a breeze compared to last
month's eleven.
Speaking of last month, the original patch Microsoft released for
the Windows 2000 Media Services vulnerability (MS10-025)
did not work, as we mentioned in this Wire
post. They have since re-issued the patch. If you have Windows 2000
computers, you'll want to go get the update again.
We'll know more about Microsoft bulletins next Tuesday,
and will publish alerts about them via LiveSecurity and LiveSecurity
Informer.
