Microsoft releases 13 patches for 47 flaws2013-09-11 09:42 by DanielaTags: Microsoft, Patch Tuesday
In September's Patch Tuesday, Microsoft issued 13 bulletins — 4 for them critical — that cover 47 vulnerabilities found across Internet Explorer, Outlook, SharePoint, Office and the Windows kernel. It is an exceptionally large number of patches for any one month, according to Wolfgang Kandek, chief technology officer of IT security firm Qualys. MS13-068 should patch a memory corruption vulnerability in Outlook. The bug could allow a remote attacker to execute code if a user merely previews a malicious email message in Outlook or opens it, a Tuesday bulletin summary said. MS13-069 is a collection of 10 patches for Internet Explorer. With these vulnerabilities, an attacker could plant malicious code on a Web page that, when visited by an unpatched browser, could take control of the user's machine, said Amol Sarwate, director of Qualys. Microsoft patched 10 critical SharePoint vulnerabilities. Details of one of the SharePoint bugs—a POST cross-site scripting flaw—have already been publicly disclosed, and all of the vulnerabilities can lead to remote code execution on the collaboration server.
