Microsoft patch day includes patches for Windows 7

Microsoft has released three critical and three important updates on its December Patch Tuesday. The most important of them is undoubtedly the cumulative update for Internet Explorer, which is designed to close a security hole that has been known for several weeks.

In addition, security bulletin MS09-072 reports four further critical vulnerabilities in Internet Explorer that were privately reported to Microsoft. In the security team's opinion, reliable working exploits will soon be circulated for all of these vulnerabilities. Three of the holes affect Internet Explorer 8 under Windows 7 to a degree that could allow malicious websites to infect a computer. Embarrassingly, the vendor had to fix another hole related to the Active Template Library flaw.
