Microsoft delivers monster security update for Windows, IE – Computerworld

Over on the post “Microsoft delivers monster security update for Windows, IE – Computerworld” contains this text:

“Computerworld – Microsoft today patched a record 64 vulnerabilities in Windows, Office, Internet Explorer (IE), and other software, including 30 bugs in the Windows kernel device driver and one in IE that was exploited at the Pwn2Own hacking contest last month.

The company also delivered a long-discussed ‘backport’ to Office 2003 and Office 2007 that brings one of the newer security features in Office 2010 to the older editions.

The 17 updates, which Microsoft dubs ‘bulletins,’ tied a record set late last year, but easily beat the October 2010 mark for the total number of flaws they fixed. Altogether, today’s updates patched 64 vulnerabilities, 15 more than in October and 24 more than in the former second-place collection of December 2010.”
