Microsoft fixes 26 vulnerabilities

Microsoft fixes 26 vulnerabilities. Patches of February solve problems in Windows and Office, of which five were considered as critical.

Tuesday, February 9th month Microsoft will release the second wave of patches (for this in 2010) for their software and operating systems: 13 security updates will correct 26 different vulnerabilities. After a relatively quiet start to the year, Micosoft had to hurry to fix a flaw discovered in Internet Explorer patch spreading outside the normal release cycle.


Just when it seemed that the situation had returned to normal a new vulnerability in Internet Explorer was discovered: the correction of this flaw, however, is not part of the patches that will be distributed next Tuesday.

The 13 bulletins in February, deal seven important problems, five critical and one moderate.
Six of them (three critical and three important ones) apply to Windows 7 and two are dedicated to Office instead, the old Windows 2000 is affected by updates to nine (five critics, some in common with Windows 7).
