Microsoft Patches 19 Flaws, 6 in Vista

Posted by ryuzaki0 on Wednesday May 9, 2007 @04:23AM from the many-patches-makes-os-work dept.

Cheesy Balogna writes "Microsoft has just released seven advisories — all rated critical — with patches for at least 19 vulnerabilities affecting the Windows operating system, the widely deployed Office productivity suite and the dominant Internet Explorer browser. Six of the 19 vulnerabilities affect Windows Vista. 'There are patches for 7 different vulnerabilities that could lead to code execution attacks against Word, Excel and Office. Users of Microsoft Exchange are also urged to pay attention to one of the critical bulletins, which cover 4 different flaws. A cumulative IE update addresses six potentially dangerous bugs. There are the six that apply to IE 7 on Windows Vista. The last bulletin in this month's batch apples to CAPICOM (Cryptographic API Component Object Model) and could also put users at risk of complete system hijack attacks.'"

There isn't any.

He's just an idiot trying to get his comment modded up. And it worked. Good for him! Yeah, I'm trying to get my comment modded up. Because taking Microsoft's side is the sure way to karma heaven right? And getting modded 100% overrated is my oh-so-blatant karma-whoring "working".

And I'm the idiot?
