Microsoft Issues 5 Security Bulletins to Fix 14 Vulnerabilities

Microsoft has released five new security bulletins for September that fix 14 vulnerabilities in its Windows and Office products. While Microsoft doesn’t rate any of these as ‘Critical’, an attacker who successfully exploits these vulnerabilities could allow for remote code execution or elevation of privilege and ultimately give the attacker 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 September 2011.

3D provides up-to-date security solutions that can protect businesses from threats like these automatically.
