Three Critical Microsoft Fixes
Microsoft issued six security updates in its monthly Patch Tuesday round for October, including three "critical" patches. First on my list for a speedy fix installation: a memory corruption error vulnerability affecting users of Office 2000, Office XP, or Office 2004 for Mac.
Next up is a security hole present in Outlook Express 5.5 and 6, as well as in Windows Vista's Windows Mail.
Last on this "critical" list: a patch of Kodak Image Viewer for Windows 2000 users or people who upgraded from Windows 2000 Service Pack 4 to Windows XP. If you click a malicious link or visit a Web site with a poisoned URL (in a renegade banner ad, say), then you're in trouble.
For more details, read our discussion of this patch round.
