Today is Windows patch Tuesday
Today is the regular monthly patch day for Windows and other Microsoft programs. This month brings an especially large bunch of security fixes. Some of the security holes being patched are already being exploited so be sure to apply all the critical and important patches. At ZDNet, Ryan Naraine reports:
Microsoft’s April batch of security patches are out: 8 bulletins with patches for at least 20 documented vulnerabilities.
The most serious of the flaws could lead to remote code execution attacks that give a malicious hacker complete ownership of a vulnerable machine. This month’s fixes cover several code execution bugs that are currently being actively exploited (Microsoft Excel and Microsoft WordPad) and two issues that have been publicly known for at least a year (token kidnapping and Safari-to-Internet Explorer blended threat).
