Out of Band Patches this week

July 27, 2009 By Michael Kavka Leave a Comment

So it seems that a few vulnerabilities have rated out of band patches from Microsoft. One for Visual Studio and one for Internet Explorer. while they are not releasing the details of the patches yet, I”ll bet the IE one is to patch the drive by downloads that have been happening lately.

Read the information here.

I always find it interesting as to what Microsoft considers important enough to do an out of band patch. Last year one was to close up the hole that Cornficker used. Sometimes it seems that they should issue one and they don’t. Maybe someday we will understand the madness to their decisions.
