In a very light set of monthly security bulletins, Microsoft will issue just one that it’s ranking critical and it involves Internet Explorer.
Vulnerable versions include IE 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, and 11 running on desktop Windows Vista, Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 as well as Windows Server 2003, 2008 and 2012.
The rest of this month’s bulletins are rated important, which means that attacks against these vulnerabilities require some action on the user’s part in order to succeed. Still, one bulleting warns against vulnerabilities that could lead to escalation of privilege on compromised Windows 8 and 8.1 machines and Server 2012 and 2012 RT, says Jon Rudolph, a senior software engineer at Core Security.
A third bulletin addresses flaws in Windows Server 2003, 2008 and 2012 and Windows Vista, 7, 8, and 8.1 that could lead to DDoS attacks against the machines. The final bulletin involves Lync Server 2010 and 2013 and also addresses problems that could lead to DDoS attacks.
