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

[Borg 386]

6/9/2011

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.

What about those who aren't running SP1?

 

[Layback Bear]

IMHO those who are not using SP-1 should be running SP-1.

 

[seekermeister]

One thing about opinions is that everybody has one.

[brianzion]

i thought i had 14 mine is 16

 

[seekermeister]

20 here.

 

[kado897]

20 for me 136Mb. Took almost an hour to download and apply. The .NET4 updates took forever. It seems to have gone in cleanly.

 

[johnwillyums]

Good luck with that My 15 have gone on with no issues so far.

 

[seekermeister]

Make mine 21. The 2 .NET4 updates failed, and when I went back to try again, there was one more update for Visual Studio.

 

[seekermeister]

Hmm, both .NET 4 updates failed again. Guess I'll quit trying.

x32 13 Files 53MB
x64 15 Files 104MB
x64 15 Files 101MB

The two x64s updated without a problem. Windows and all my start-up applications seemed to load faster.

On the x32 only 5 of my 13 updates installed successfully and the Updater pointed out two problems. I clicked on the first one and Windows 7 directed me to a Diagnose and Repair tool which ran. When it was done running it said that the two problems were fixed and I needed to restart.

I restarted and while Windows was trying to configure the updates that it had successfully installed Windows said Can Not Configure Updates will Roll Back Configuration (or some such thing).

After that I could log in. After I logged in Windows than popped up the Updater and told me that I had Nine Critical Updates to Install, not eight as in the number not installed. I downloaded and installed them. Then restarted and finally checked the Updater again. All was good to go.

Love Windows 7
