Microsoft Patches 10 Bugs

  • Microsoft on Tuesday released four security updates to patch 10 vulnerabilities, seven of them judged "critical." But the company failed to fix multiple flaws in its popular word processor that have been exploited by attackers for more than a month.
  • Of the updates, three involve Microsoft's Office suite, while the fourth affects Internet Explorer, the developer's oft-patched Web browser.
  • MS07-003, which affects Microsoft Outlook, the e-mail client packaged with Office. The update fixes three flaws, one tagged critical.
  • MS07-004 fixes another bug in VML -- Vector Markup Language -- that is an extension of XML that defines Web images in vector graphics format.
