Four IE bugs fixed by Patch Tuesday release
Seven updates, three critical in monthly security update.
Microsoft has released its monthly 'Patch Tuesday' security bulletin, featuring seven updates of which three are
marked 'critical' and cover flaws which could allow remote execution of code if exploited on vulnerable systems.
The critical issues are with DirectX, Windows Media Format and Internet Explorer, in which four
separate vulnerabilities are fixed by a cumulative update. All could be used to gain system access if a malicious
file or webpage is viewed on affected systems.
The less significant vulnerabilities, all rated 'important', affect SMBv2, Message Queuing Service, the
Macrovision driver and the Windows kernel.
Users are advised to ensure all security updates are applied promptly to keep their systems as safe as possible.
More details of the updates are at Microsoft
here.
