Microsoft plans to release a dozen security bulletins June 13 to provide fixes for a wide range of critical software vulnerabilities.

The June batch of updates will include patches for a critical zero-day flaw in Microsoft Word and an Internet Explorer update that deals with the way the browser handles ActiveX controls.

A Microsoft spokesperson confirmed in an interview with eWEEK that the Microsoft Office update will offer a comprehensive fix for the Word flaw that has been exploited in targeted attacks emanating from China and Taiwan.
