Microsoft to Patch 22 Vulnerabilities in IE, Windows

It seems that Microsoft has taken the ‘dumb’ comments a tad too seriously. A little under a week after that ‘infamous’ report, Microsoft has announced that it plans to ship 13 security updates, next week with a patch that will fix 22 vulnerabilities in Internet Explorer, Windows, Visio and Visual Studio. According to Microsoft, two of the updates for IE and Windows are ‘critical’, nine are rated as ‘important’ and the other two are ‘moderate’. As far as the critical updates are concerned, PCs running without the patch are vulnerable to propagation of an Internet worm with remote code execution in Windows and Internet Explorer and require system restarts. Microsoft comes up with 22 new patches for IE, Windows All the IE versions currently available ‘make the cut’ for the update patches, as Microsoft acknowledges that the bugs could provide easy access to hackers.
