Microsoft Security Bulletins

October 2006

From Tony Bradley, CISSP-ISSAP, for About.com

For 'Patch Tuesday' in October, Microsoft released 10 new Security Bulletins: 1 Low, 2 Moderate, 1 Important and 6 rated as Critical. Many of the Critical Security Bulletins deal with a flaw in Microsoft Office products such as Word, Excel and PowerPoint. An exploit has already been circulating in the wild attacking the flaw in PowerPoint for a couple of weeks preceeding this release.

To view a summary of the October bulletins, visit Microsoft Security Bulletin Summary for October, 2006. Click the links below to view the individual Microsoft Security Bulletins and to download any patches that might be required for your system. You can also visit Windows Update to automatically determine what patches or updates your system needs.
