Η Microsoft preparing for another one Patch on Tuesdayand this time he plans to fix it vulnerable points found in the Windows operating system and the Office suite.
In total, four updates will be released on Tuesday, two of which were rated by the company as critical and the other two considered important.
As usual, Microsoft does not give details about the vulnerabilities that will be fixed by the new patches, for obvious reasons, but only mentions that Windows and Office, will have a critical updates. Of course, an updated version is also pending for Internet Explorer as the company discovered a bug that needs to be addressed as soon as possible. Internet Explorer 10 is the only version that is not affected by this particular vulnerability, as the company said.
As far as Office is concerned, vulnerability has been found in all versions of the suite. Because the company is not accustomed to giving more details before releasing the updates, we can not know if the upcoming updates will "close" the vulnerability found in the Word vulnerability that allows attackers to execute code using a malicious RTF document. Whatever it is, we will learn more on Tuesday that comes to us.
