Microsoft patches 21 more vulnerabilities

Microsoft patches 21 more vulnerabilities
Following their standard "Patch Tuesday" protocol, Microsoft has issued nine security updates today that patch 21 vulnerabilities in their products.

The products in question include Windows, Internet Explorer, .Net, Silverlight, Sharepoint server and MS Office.



Four of the nine updates were dubbed "critical," which is Microsoft's highest threat rating, while all the others were labeled "important." Of the vulnerabilities, 6 were critical, 14 were important and the final one was "moderate."

The most notable fixes came for vulnerabilities in IE and Windows as they were "drive-by" attacks, which needed nothing more than the user to visit a malicious site to be affected.

Many of the other fixes were related to media files. More info here: Patch Tuesday
