Microsoft July updates
Next Tuesday, we’re currently planning to release six security bulletins:
· Three Microsoft Security Bulletins affecting Microsoft Windows with a Maximum Severity rating of Critical. These updates will require a restart and will be detectable using the Microsoft Baseline Security Analyzer.
· Two Microsoft Security Bulletins affecting Microsoft Office with a Maximum Severity rating of Critical. These updates will not require a restart and will be detectable using the Microsoft Baseline Security Analyzer.
· One Microsoft Security Bulletin affecting Microsoft .NET Framework with a Maximum Severity rating of Critical. This update will require a restart and will be detectable using the Microsoft Baseline Security Analyzer.
Additional details about the bulletins and the affected versions can be found in the Advance Notification posted on the web.
We are also planning to release an update to the Microsoft Windows Malicious Software Removal Too.
Finally, we are planning to release four high-priority non-security updates on Microsoft Update and one on Windows Update.
The complete post is here.
