Microsoft Patch Tuesday June Edition
Yesterday for Microsoft Patch Tuesday in June, Microsoft released updates to fix 88 security vulnerabilities in its Windows operating system and related software. The most dangerous of these include four flaws for which there is already exploit code available. There’s also a scary bug affecting all versions of Microsoft Office that is triggered by a malicious link or attachment. Adobe also has its customary monthly security update for Flash Player.
Microsoft has stated that it has seen no exploitation against any of the four flaws that were disclosed publicly prior to their patching this week, nor against any of the 88 bugs quashed in this month’s release. Most of the critical vulnerabilities, those that can be exploited by malware or miscreants to infect systems without any action on the part of the user, are present in Microsoft’s browsers Internet Explorer and Edge. Microsoft also pushed an update to plug a critical security hole in Adobe’s Flash Player software, which is waning in use but it still is a target for malware purveyors.
