More critical Microsoft fixes

p2p news / p2pnet: Microsoft has released more fixes to plug critical security holes.

But, “While the company’s latest patch distribution is meant to help Microsoft customers fix several well-known loopholes in its software, the update did not address a series of flaws isolated in the firm’s Internet Explorer browser, as some experts had predicted,” says PC Magazine.

Meanwhile, a Flash patch fixes two serious vulnerabilities present in versions 6.0.79 or earlier installed on either Windows 98, Windows 98SE, Windows ME or Windows XP, says the Washington Post’s Brian Krebs, pointing out that Flash is installed by default on all of these.

This also includes the security fixes for Flash versions 7.x and 8.x released in March

The second fix deals with Windows flaws attackers could use, “cause systems to seize up,” says the story.

The final patch fixes a critical problem in Exchange Server, used by some businesses to manage incoming and outgoing e-mail.
