eWeek | at | by Mike
Microsoft on Thursday announced plans to release eight security bulletins on April 12, including "critical" fixes for flaws in several widely deployed applications.
As part of its advance notice mechanism, the software giant said five high-priority patches would deal only with flaws in the Windows operating system.
Three more bulletins with a maximum severity rating of "critical" will include fixes for the Microsoft Office suite, the MSN Messenger chat program, and Microsoft Exchange, which is widely used in large corporations using Microsoft infrastructure solutions.
