Microsoft is not planning to release any security updates on Tuesday, one of only a handful of times the company won't have security patches available since its monthly security updates began in 2003, Microsoft said Thursday.
Microsoft is currently working on patches for known vulnerabilities in Internet Explorer 7, Office 2007's Publisher 2007, and the Windows Vista OS, but they are not ready for release at the moment, said a spokesman from Microsoft's public relations firm Thursday.
The last time Microsoft had no security updates on "Patch Tuesday" was September 2005, he said. Patch Tuesday is the name researchers use for Microsoft's monthly updates, which come on the second Tuesday of the month.
