Microsoft said it will ship 14 security updates this week to patch vulnerabilities in Internet Explorer (IE), Windows, Office, and SharePoint. Microsoft flgas four as critical, the company’s most severe rating.
The IE update, affects every supported version, from the soon-to-be-retired IE6 to the newest IE10, Microsoft has patched IE every month so far this year.
“Bulletin 2,” will quash one or more bugs in Outlook 2007 and Outlook 2010, critical Office vulnerabilities have usually been through the preview pane the only way to get into Outlook without user interaction, which is a Microsoft criteria for a critical rating. The Outlook update we consider as important as the one for IE, because next to the browser, your email reader is just as popular and important.
We recommend that users disable the preview pane in Outlook 2007 and 2010 until more is known of Bulletin 2’s vulnerabilities.
