Microsoft Preps 7 Security Bulletins

Microsoft on Tuesday will issue seven security bulletins that correct vulnerabilities in products ranging from Windows to Office and Exchange Server to BizTalk. One of these fixes will be for a highly-publicized DNS flaw affecting Windows 2000 and Windows Server 2003.

Specifically, two bulletins will affect Windows, with at least one rated critical. Three will affect Office, also with at least one rated critical. One critical bulletin each will be released for Exchange Server and Microsoft CAPICOM and BizTalk. In addition, six high-priority non-security updates will be issued through Microsoft Update. Per its standard practices, Microsoft does not disclose specifics of upcoming patches before they are released.
