Microsoft today said it will patch at least 14 vulnerabilities next week, including four in Internet Explorer (IE), making it three monthsin a row that the company has plugged holes in its browser.
Of the nine updates set for Aug. 14, five will be labeled "critical," the most serious of the four ratings Microsoft uses. The other four will be pegged "important," the next-lower threat ranking.
The big story for next week will be the one-two punch of patches for Exchange and SQL Server.
"Those are two of the three things that are most important to IT in enterprises," said Andrew Storms, director of security operations atnCircle Security. "Thank goodness SharePoint's not included. But Microsoft is hitting two out of three in just one month."
