Posted by: Warez Monster

Microsoft on Tuesday released a bevy of patches, including three critical patches for the Microsoft Windows operating system, two for Office, and a critical patch for its antivirus and anti-malware software products.

Altogether, twelve patches were released, and the Redmond company finally addressed the issues within Microsoft Word and Office that were being exploited in zero-day attacks. Both Office patches dealt with code execution issues.

The first patch dealt with a total of six vulnerabilities within Word, including malformed string, data structure, drawing object, and function issues, as well as issues with Word Count and Word macros. The patch is intended for Word 2000, 2002, and 2003, as well as Works Suites 2004 through 2006 and Office for Mac.
