Microsoft's Patch Tues(half)day

Your IT - Home IT

Microsoft has significantly cut back on the number of patches it will issue this Tuesday (US time).

 

Earlier last week, the company advised there would be a total of eight security bulletins - covering Windows, Visual Studio and Office - with the most serious having a rating of "critical". Two non-security high-priority updates were also scheduled for release via Windows Update and Windows Server Update Services.

On Friday, Microsoft scaled back the announcement to one "critical" update for Windows, three for Office (at least one of which will be "critical"), plus the two non-security high-priority updates.

No indication was given about why four security bulletins apparently covering Windows, Visual Studio and Office have been withdrawn, or whether any exploits for these vulnerabilities exist.
