August Microsoft Patch Tuesday

Posted on August 11th, 2009

Microsoft has announced nine new patches for its monthly patch release cycle.  These patches fix multiple Microsoft products, including Windows, Remote Desktop, Office, Telnet, and more.   Five patches are rated Critical, allowing for remote code execution on vulnerable systems.   The other four patches are rated Important, leading to elevation of privileges, denial of service, and a remote code exploit for Telnet.  Gladiator recommends that users immediately apply all Critical patches to their systems. Detailed information for the patches can be found in Microsoft’s August Security Bulletin
