Microsoft Advance Notification for Patch Tuesday – August 2013

Change theme to light Microsoft Advance Notification for Patch Tuesday – August 2013
1 Minute Read by Space Rogue

No rest for the weary. Microsoft has announced that there will be eight bulletins this month, which might not sound so bad until you realize that there are three of them are rated critical, all of which involve remote code execution. Of course number one involves none other than most versions of Internet Explorer. The second critical bulletin is for XP and Server 2003 and bulletin three is in Exchange Server! Yikes!

The remaining five bulletins are all rated Important and consist of two Elevation of Privilege, two Denial of Service and one Information Disclosure. All five of them impact various parts of Windows itself. Interesting that this month there doesn't seem to be any Office, SharePoint, or other application level patches.

So while many of us are still recovering from a week in the Nevada desert you better get all the rest you need this weekend as next week we will have to test and deploy these patches.
