Humpty Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 Quote: Microsoft has released high-priority fixes for serious vulnerabilities in its Outlook and Excel applications, but there are no patches in the January batch for known Microsoft Word flaws that are currently under attack. The Redmond, Wash., software maker released four bulletins with patches for a total of 10 vulnerabilities, most rated "critical," but there is no sign of fixes for the known code-execution Word bugs that have been exploited in zero-day attacks since December 2006. Microsoft originally planned to ship eight bulletins this month but four were pulled at the eleventh hour, suggesting that there were problems with the quality of the updates. One of the bulletins that was withdrawn was slated to address Microsoft Office flaws, but it is not clear if Word fixes were included. eweek article Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
