Microsoft Issues 16 Security Bulletins to Fix 34 Vulnerabilities

Microsoft has released 16 new security bulletins describing 34 vulnerabilities ranging from important to critical in their severity. The vulnerabilities affect many Microsoft products including Internet Explorer (IE), Windows, Office, SQL Server, .NET Framework, Silverlight, Visual Studio and Forefront Threat Management Gateway. An attacker can exploit these vulnerabilities in various ways and the impact could allow elevation of privilege, information disclosure, denial of service, or remote code execution which could ultimately enable 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 posed by these vulnerabilities. Other Microsoft users of the above-mentioned products 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 Microsoft’s Security Bulletin Summary for June 2011.

3D provides up-to-date security solutions that can protect businesses from threats like these automatically. If you would like additional information on how we can make your network worry-free, please visit our website at http://www.3dcorp.us/, email us at info@3dcorp.us, or call our office at (360) 671-4906.
