Microsoft Readies 13 Windows Fixes
16 Comments
As part of its monthly "Patch Tuesday" next week, Microsoft is preparing to issue 13 security fixes, which range in severity from moderate to critical. Nine of the updates pertain to flaws specifically to Windows, while the others cover SharePoint, Microsoft's .NET Framework, Office and Windows Media.
Per its security policy, Microsoft is not releasing any specifics on the vulnerabilities until their release on February 8; however, the company makes some exceptions. Businesses and governments signed up with Redmond programs will receive early access to upcoming security announcements, and Microsoft recently called on external beta testers to help improve the quality of its patching process.
