Microsoft Issues 4 Security Bulletins to Fix 22 Vulnerabilities

Microsoft has released four new security bulletins describing 22 vulnerabilities ranging from important to critical in their severity. The vulnerabilities affect Microsoft Windows and Office programs, specifically Bluetooth stack, Kernel-mode drivers, Client/Server Run-time Subsystem and Visio. An attacker can exploit these vulnerabilities in various ways and the impact could allow elevation of privilege 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 Windows and Office 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 Microsoft’s Security Bulletin Summary for July 2011.
