September Patch Tuesday to bring five critical fixes

Business IT - Security

Patch Tuesday comes around again next week, and Microsoft will be serving up another five critical security bulletins. Four are critical on Vista.

Microsoft routinely releases security updates on the second Tuesday of the month.

Although September's bundle is slated to include five bulletins, none of them address the IIS FTP issue the company revealed earlier this week.

Jerry Bryant of the Microsoft Security Response Center said "our teams are working hard to produce an update."

Microsoft only gives the briefest outline of issues until the patches are available, but this month's bulletins are all for Windows, and all are rated critical as they allow remote code execution.

Two of the bulletins are critical on all currently supported versions of Windows.

One is critical on Vista and important on Server 2008, while another is critical on Vista and Server 2003, and important on 2000 and XP.

The fifth is critical on 2000 and XP, and moderate on Server 2003.

As usual, Microsoft will also release updated versions of the Malicious Software Removal Tool and the Windows Mail Junk E-mail Filter.
