"ZDNET" reports that this months’ batch of security patches from Microsoft will be a huge one: 16 bulletins covering 34 vulnerabilities in Windows, Internet Explorer (IE), Office, SQL Server and other products.
Nine of the 16 bulletins are rated “critical” in Microsoft's four-step scoring system because of the risk of remote code execution attack, while the remaining seven will be marked "important", the second-most-dire ranking.
According to "ComputerWorldUK", two of the critical bulletins will address high-severity vulnerabilities in the Internet Explorer browser. All versions of IE will receive one of the updates, including IE9, the newest edition, while the second IE bulletin will affect only IE8 and older versions.
In addition to security holes in the Windows OS and Internet Explorer, the following products are also affected by the June patch batch:
- Microsoft .NET Framework
- Microsoft Silverlight
- Microsoft Forefront Threat Management Gateway
- Microsoft Office
- Microsoft SQL Server
- Microsoft Visual Studio
All supported versions of Windows are affected by this month’s patches, which are scheduled for release on Tuesday June 14, 2011.
