Peaches Posted July 27, 2009 Report Share Posted July 27, 2009 Emergency Microsoft security patches on the way'Out-of-band' fixes for Internet Explorer & Visual StudioRobert McMillanMicrosoft is taking the unusual step of rushing out two emergency security patches ahead of its regularly scheduled updates on August 11.The patches will include a critical fix for Internet Explorer as well as a related Visual Studio patch rated 'moderate' urgency by Microsoft. "The Internet Explorer bulletin will provide defence-in-depth changes to Internet Explorer to help provide additional protections for the issues addressed by the Visual Studio bulletin," Microsoft said in a blog posting.The patches are set to be released on Tuesday.Microsoft didn't say exactly what it was fixing. The company typically doesn't rush out these 'out-of-band' emergency updates unless the bug is being exploited by cyber criminals; however, in this case the flaws being patched are not being leveraged in attacks, according to Microsoft.Details computerworld - http://www.computerworlduk.com/management/...ype=allchandate Quote Link to post Share on other sites
