The other patched bugs were described by the company as "significant", and could allow an attacker to increase user privileges, bypass embedded security features, and launch denial-of-service attacks.
Η Microsoft also released a patch for the vulnerability Google disclosed last week, which caused (once again) friction between two companies.
In a major post, Microsoft's Chris Betz argued that the security landscape is becoming "increasingly complex," and that companies should "work together" rather than have the details of a security vulnerability before it can be fixed.
Google said it reported the error since October, and revealed it after a waiting period of 90 days.
Microsport will release the next security updates and fixes on February 10.
