Microsoft Readies Five September Security Updates
Robert McMillan, IDG News Service
Microsoft will release five sets of security patches next Tuesday, including a critical update for users of Windows 2000, the company said Thursday.
With the remaining four security updates rated as "important" by Microsoft, this latest round of patches appears to be less worrisome than the August updates. Last month, Microsoft released nine updates, six of which were rated critical.
Microsoft rates its bug-fixes as critical when attackers can exploit the flaws without requiring any user action.
Also set to be patched this month are Visual Studio, Windows Services for Unix, SharePoint Services, and the Windows Live and MSN Messenger software.
Microsoft releases its security patches on the second Tuesday of each month, generally around 11 a.m., Pacific time.
With this latest rounds of patches, Microsoft will have released 55 updates in 2007; the same number it had released by September of last year.
