Η Microsoft released the Security overview French Newsletter for the month of August 2014, offering information related to all security and non-security patches that come with the latest updates.
A total of nine updates this month, which come to fix security issues in Windows, Internet Explorer, Windows Server software, .NET and Office.
Two of these updates are classified as "critical" by the company while the other seven are classified as "significant".
In addition to these regular updates for August, there is also a smaller update for the Windows 8.1 operating system that adds three new features and improvements. But it is likely that users will not even notice it.
A total of nine security updates have been released that address 37 vulnerabilities.
