Patch
Tuesday offers up fixes for four security holes, all of which have been
deemed 'critical.' If you don't have automatic updates on, I suggest you hit the Windows Update button and get your patch on. The updates fix nine bugs in Microsoft's products. In addition to the four critical updates, Microsoft also released 'important' fixes for the Windows SharePoint collaboration software and
in the Windows RPC (remote procedure call) technology.
- MS07-055 addresses a vulnerability in Kodak Image Viewer, and is rated as a
Critical bulletin.
- MS07-056 addresses a vulnerability Outlook Express and Windows Mail, and is
rated as a Critical bulletin.
- MS07-057 is a Cumulative Security Update for Internet Explorer, and is rated
as a Critical bulletin.
- MS07-058 addresses a vulnerability in RPC, and is rated as an Important
bulletin.
- MS07-059 addresses a vulnerability in Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 and
Office SharePoint Server 2007, and is rated as an Important bulletin.
- MS07-060 addresses a vulnerability in Microsoft Word, and is rated as a
Critical bulletin
In addition to the bulletins mentioned above, Microsoft also re-released
bulletin
MS05-004. This re-release updates detection includes Server 2003 Service
Pack 2 and Vista as affected platforms. There were no changes to the update
binaries, so if you have already successfully installed this update, you do not
need to reinstall it. Customers who have applied
MS07-040 are unaffected by this detection update, as their systems are
up-to-date from a .NET Framework security stance.
