Microsoft Patches Fix 34 Security Flaws
Summary: Microsoft released 16 software updates on Tuesday to fix at least 34 security vulnerabilities in Windows and other software, with more than half rated critical because they can be exploited with little to no user interaction. Microsoft said four of the updates deserve priority for organizations that test patches before deploying, and a separate important update fixes at least eight flaws in all versions of Microsoft Excel, including Office for Mac.
What you should know: More than half of these 34 flaws are rated critical, meaning little to no user interaction is needed to exploit them, so the testing window before deployment is the exposure window.
