Microsoft Stuffs Our Stockings With Seven Security Updates

December 7, 2012 By Corey Nachreiner

Before you get too much into holiday cheer, you have some patching to do.

Like clockwork, Microsoft released their Advanced Notification post on Thursday, warning the world that they will release seven security bulletins for December. Next Tuesday’s bulletins will fix flaws in Windows, Office, and some of Microsoft’s Server Software. They rate five of the seven bulletins as Critical. According to their MSRC blog post, the bulletins will fix 11 vulnerabilities overall, with the two most critical updates affecting Windows.

MS Patch Day, Dec. 2012Before letting your IT staff drink too much spiked eggnog at the good ‘ole holiday party, you might want to prepare them for these upcoming Microsoft patches. That way they can download, test, and install them as soon as possible—especially the Critical ones.

I’ll release more details about next Tuesday’s updates on the 11th. Stay tuned! — Corey Nachreiner, CISSP (@SecAdept)

    Before investing in a certain stock, be sure to check their
    rating. Many big-name companies actually have questionable ratings.

    Some have been found guilty in the public’s eye in the past of falsifying their earnings, while others are just unstable financially. Look into the credibility of a company before you choose to invest in them to keep yourself safe.
