In an effort to keep your computers from being hacked Microsoft is releasing today, in it’s monthly series of patches, 8 separate security fixes to patch 23 holes in a key range of their products. Some of these fixes are deemed critical as they will stop hackers from remotely running code in Windows, Internet Explorer, .NET and Silverlight.
Another bulletin, marked as important, addresses flaws in components found only on 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Windows Vista and Windows 7, while there are two more that affect all versions of Microsoft's operating system.
One bulletin patches vulnerabilities in Microsoft Forefront Unified Access Gateway, one of the company's secure remote access lashups. The versions affected are 2010, 2010 Update 1, 2010 Update 2 and 2010 Service Pack 1.
There is also a fix for elevation of privilege (EoP) flaws in Windows XP and Windows Server 2003, while the other addresses a denial of service (DoS) condition in the Microsoft Host Integration Server 2004 SP1, 2006 SP1, 2009 and 2010.
Users with Windows Update enabled to "install updates automatically" will receive the critical patches by default and can decide if they want to install the important updates.
