Bumper crop of Microsoft patches on the way
Published June 9th, 2006 in All Categories, Exploits & Vulnerabilities, Internet Explorer, Security
Microsoft customers should brace for an onslaught of security updates. 
As part of a monthly patching cycle, the software maker plans to release on Tuesday a dozen security bulletins with fixes for flaws. Nine of the bulletins address problems in Windows, two relate to Office and one to the Exchange e-mail server software.
At least one of the Windows and one of the Office alerts is deemed "critical," Microsoft’s highest risk rating, the company said in a notice posted on its Web site Thursday.
Additionally, the June patches will permanently alter the way Internet Explorer handles Web programs called ActiveX controls. Microsoft introduced the change, which may affect how certain Web sites are displayed in the browser, two months ago. It gave Web developers a "compatibility patch" to give them time to adjust to the new process, but the June security updates will end that respite, Microsoft said.
