Microsoft releases super bundle of security patches

Microsoft has released what security experts are calling one of it most significant security fixes this year. On Tuesday morning, the software maker pushed out nine sets of patches, called updates in Microsoft parlance, fixing a total of 14 bugs in its software. Six of these updates are rated critical by Microsoft, meaning that attackers could exploit the flaws with no user action required. The other three updates are rated important.

"People should definitely cancel their dinner plans and make sure they take this one seriously because both the breadth and impact of these are important," said Don Leatham, director of solutions and strategy with PatchLink. "This is an intense month."
