Apply today’s monthly MSFT patches
[b]Microsoft expects Internet Explorer exploits within 30 days Patch Tuesday features 13 patches for 22 vulnerabilities [/b]By Jon Brodkin on Tue, 08/09/11 - 2:52pm.Microsoft’s monthly patches released today include a critical fix for seven holes in Internet Explorer which, if left unpatched, are considered “likely to see reliable exploits developed within the next 30 days.”
A second critical patch was released for Windows DNS Server, although the vulnerabilities closed by this patch are not likely to be exploited within the next month, Microsoft said.
Overall, Microsoft issued 13 patches closing 22 vulnerabilities in IE, Windows, Office, .NET and Developer Tools.
Microsoft patching: Still painful after all these years
The critical IE patch affects all versions of Internet Explorer from IE6 to IE9. “The most severe of these vulnerabilities could allow remote code execution if a user views a specially crafted webpage using Internet Explorer,” Microsoft said. “An attacker who successfully exploited any of these vulnerabilities could gain the same user rights as the local user. Microsoft is not aware of any attacks leveraging the vulnerabilities addressed in this bulletin.”
