Mega Microsoft patch list coming Tuesday – 34 fixes

Allan 'Zardon' Campbell August 7, 2010 Operating Systems

Microsoft have announced a monster list of security software fixes coming this Tuesday. 34 vulnerabilities are being sorted in this months patch list.

This patch list has been confirmed by Microsoft in an advanced notification which they posted on their TechNet site. It lists eight of fourteen security bulletins addressed in this patch cycle as ‘Critical' and the other six are classed as ‘important'.

All of these cover all supported versions of Windows including Windows 7 and its worrying news for users of Windows XP SP2 which is sure to be vulnerable to the attacks but it is no longer supported by Microsoft. If you want to be totally safe, then you need to upgrade to SP3.

KitGuru says: Tuesday is going to be a busy day for company administration teams.
