Microsoft today announced that it plans to publish 10 security bulletins on the upcoming patch Tuesday. 6 Bulletins are meant to deal with Windows Operating System flaws - 2 of them are considered critical. For Microsoft Office, Word and Excel the company wants to release 3 security bulletins with a critical rating. The updates now also close a security vulnerability in Office for Mac which was fixed in the Windows versions already last month. Another bulletin has updates attached for the Internet Explorer. A patch for the recently discovered DirectX vulnerability which gets already actively exploited in the wild is still missing though. On Microsofts Security Response Center Blog they explain that the patch still hasn’t the quality that is needed for shipping. Fortunately, the “Fix it for me” buttons in Microsofts Knowledgebase article finally work and deliver an msi installer package. Until a patch is provided, users should apply this hotfix.
