Microsoft Releases Updates to Correct over 20 Windows Vulnerabilities

Microsoft has released eight security bulletins describing over 20 vulnerabilities that affect all current versions of Windows. There are multiple ways an attacker can exploit these vulnerabilities, some of which include sending specially crafted network packets or enticing the user to open malicious media. Once exploited, the worst-case scenario enables the attacker to gain complete control of the user’s computer.

3D Corporation will automatically test and deploy security patches on the networks of our 3DProActive™ Managed and Partner clients to eliminate the risks imposed by these vulnerabilities. Other Windows users should download and install the appropriate patches immediately to avoid possible exploitation of their computer and/or computer networks. More information regarding these vulnerabilities and their impact can be found at the Microsoft Security Response Center Website and Microsoft Security Bulletin Summary for April 2010.
