JMH · Jul 10, 2013

Microsoft is plugging a host of security holes found notonly in its latest operating system but also in many of its most popular applications including Office, Internet Explorer and Lync.

This month's Patch Tuesday consists of seven bulletins, sixof them critical, that, if exploited, can give attackers power to execute codeon victim machines and control them remotely.

"To say that all Microsoft products are affected andeverything is affected critically is not an overstatement," says Paul Henry asecurity and forensic analyst for Lumension. "It's difficult to prioritize oneor two because all the bulletins likely need your attention."

July 2013 Patch Tuesday - Windows, IE, Flash, Shockwave and ColdFusion

Today, right on schedule, Microsoft released 7 updates fixing 34 vulnerabilities in Windows, Internet Explorer, .NET and Windows Defender.
Adobe also released fixes for Adobe Flash Player, Adobe Shockwave Player and Adobe Cold Fusion fixing 6 vulnerabilities.

Either Adobe is making progress and getting the number of vulnerabilities down or a few of their engineers are on summer holiday... Time will tell.

The two most critical Microsoft fixes are MS13-053 and MS13-055.
