Microsoft issues six sets of security patches on Patch Tuesday July 2007
Software giant Microsoft has released six sets of security patches on July’s Patch Tuesday. One of the patches is for a bug in their Active Directory software.
In addition, these latest round of patches also fix critical vulnerabilities in Excel and the .Net Framework along with minor bugs in Microsoft Office Publisher, Internet Information Services (IIS), and the Vista firewall.
These six sets of patches overall fixes 11 bugs in software applications developed by the company.
Eric Schultze, chief security architect with Shavlik Technologies said in a statement that the most critical patch of this lot for system administrators would be the MS07-039 Active Directory update.
This update is for Windows 2000 Server and Windows Server 2003 systems. He said: “That one scares me because those are the crown jewels there. And it looks like you’re caught with your pants down at the moment.”
With these latest rounds of patches, the company has in all released 41 updates so far in 2007.
