Windows 7: Patch Tuesday heads-up:Critical holes in Windows, IE, MS Office

This months’ batch of security patches from Microsoft will be a huge one: 16 bulletins covering a wide range of security holes in the Windows operating system.

Nine of the 16 bulletins are rated “critical” because of the risk of remote code execution attack.

According to an advance notice from the Redmond, Wash. software maker, two of the critical bulletins will address high-severity vulnerabilities in the Internet Explorer browser.

In addition to security holes in the Windows OS and Internet Explorer, the following products are also affected by the June patch batch:

• Microsoft .NET Framework
• Microsoft Silverlight
• Microsoft Forefront Threat Management Gateway
• Microsoft Office
• Microsoft SQL Server
• Microsoft Visual Studio

All supported versions of Windows are affected by this month’s patches, which are scheduled for release on Tuesday June 14, 2011.

The same day is Adobe's regularly-scheduled quarterly Patch Tuesday. Adobe will release critical updates to Acrobat and Reader. The products to be updated are:

• Adobe Reader X (10.0.1) and earlier version for Windows
• Adobe Reader X (10.0.3) and earlier versions for Macintosh
• Adobe Reader 9.4.3 and earlier versions for Windows and Macintosh
• Adobe Acrobat X (10.0.3) and earlier versions for Windows and Macintosh
• Adobe Acrobat 9.4.3 and earlier versions for Windows and Macintosh

Users running Windows 7 Service Pack 1 (SP1) and Internet Explorer 9 will need to apply a number of Critical security bulletins which Microsoft plans to release next week as part of the company’s monthly patch cycle.
