Patch Tuesday Will Be Biggest Ever with 13 Bulletins

By Jennifer LeClaire, newsfactor.com

Oct 9, 2009

Microsoft is preparing for its biggest-ever Patch Tuesday next week -- and analysts said IT administrators should do the same. The software giant will issue 13 bulletins to address 34 security vulnerabilities across a wide range of products. Eight of the bulletins come with critical ratings, including two for vulnerabilities that are already being exploited.

The patches cover Office, SQL Server, Internet Explorer, and Microsoft developer tools, as well as all currently supported versions of Windows, including the yet-to-be released Windows 7. The previous largest Patch Tuesdays were 12 bulletins in October 2008 and November 2007.
