Just two weeks before Christmas, on December 11, Microsoft’s patch day is back. The manufacturer has announced seven security bulletins, five of which are “critical”. A total of eleven vulnerabilities are to be eliminated, which concern Windows, Word and Internet Explorer as well as server software.
Critical gaps are found on the Internet 9 and 10, which would only affect newer versions of Windows. For the older IE editions 6 to 8 for Windows XP to Server 2008, Microsoft does not provide a security rating; for Windows servers, which are rarely used as surfing machines, the risk level is "medium."
Other gaps, some of which are classified as critical, are distributed over all supported versions of Windows. Microsoft also assesses an update for Exchange Server 2007 and 2010 as critical. The same applies to one or more vulnerabilities in Word that affect Office 2003, 2007, 2010, and the Word Viewer, Office Web Apps 2010, and SharePoint Server 2010. Added to this is the mandatory update for Microsoft's pest control, the "Malicious Software Removal Tool" distributed across all update channels. Read more on the official Microsoft website
