15 Bugs being patched in latest patch Tuesday release from Microsoft

Microsoft has released their latest set of patches for their software applications. These latest patches are to fix 15 bugs in their applications 2 of which are present in the recently launched Vista operating system.

Six of these flaws are present in their Internet Explorer web browser. Microsoft added that these batch of vulnerability fixes affect 12 critical bugs.

One of the security updates released fixes two vulnerabilities in Microsoft Office. Another bug fixed in this release affects Windows Mail in Windows Vista and Windows Vista x64 edition.

Dan Holden, a product manager with IBM’s Internet Security Systems said in a statement that the Vista related bugs are in the upgrade process and they are not going to affect the users who are using Vista installed from scratch.

He said: “I doubt you would see this vulnerability in most Vista instances. Many enterprises will have Vista on brand-new machines. We’re not seeing mass migrations from XP to Vista.”
