62 Vulnerabilities Fixed in Microsoft October Patch Tuesday

October 12, 2017

Trend Micro reported that Microsoft's Patch Tuesday for October addressed 62 vulnerabilities, 27 of which are designated as critical and 35 designated as important. The fixes are for Microsoft Windows, Office, Skype for Business, IE, Exchange Server, Edge and .NET framework. Probably one of the most significant parts of this month's Patch Tuesday is the end of support for Office 2007 and Outlook 2007.

Hopefully, readers already know to install updates as soon as possible. A memory corruption vulnerability in Microsoft Office is actively being exploited in the wild. Hit that update button now if you haven't already.
