Microsoft Patch Tuesday: 31 fixes, 18 critical and a new record

By Microsoft Subnet on Wed, 06/10/09 - 11:44am.

Microsoft set a record on Tuesday for the number of patches included in this month's Patch Tuesday. 10 updates fix 31 vulnerabilities in Windows, Internet Explorer (IE), Excel, Word, Windows Search and other programs, including 18 bugs marked "critical." Six of the patches fix some part of Windows, three are aimed at Office and one at IE. 11 patches were tagged as "important," and two were judged "moderate."

Shavlik Technologies' CTO Eric Schultze recommends installing  the following patches first:
 - IIS patch (for webdav 0-day)
 - IE8 patch (for IE8 0-day)
 - Active Directory patch for Windows 2000

Shavlik makes patch management software.
