Today we’re releasing our advance notification
for the June (I think they meant July) security bulletin release, which is scheduled for Tuesday,
August 10. This month’s release is composed of 14 bulletins addressing
34 vulnerabilities in Windows, Microsoft Office, Internet Explorer, SQL,
and Silverlight. Eight of the bulletins carry a Critical severity
rating, and six are rated Important.
As always, we recommend that customers review the ANS summary page
for more information and prepare for the testing and deployment of these
bulletins as soon as possible.
For those who keep track of such things, this will be the most
bulletins we have ever released in a month; we have released 13
bulletins on a couple of occasions. However, in total CVE count, this
release ties with June 2010, so there’s no new record there. Please join
Adrian Stone and Jerry Bryant for a public webcast on Wednesday. We’ll
go into detail about all the bulletins and answer questions live on the
air. Register at the link below:
