Patch Tuesday, 2006-April - As Expected, Microsoft rolls out the IE patch

Filed under: ITSec — FreyGuy @ 17:26:30

Hi all;

Sorry I’ve been away recently – Lots of confidential security breach discoveries going on at work which have been keeping me swamped.

Along with other patches in this “Patch Tuesday” deployment, Microsoft has deployed the fix for the recently disclosed flaw that was allowing spyware and other malware authors to bypass system security, install devious software, eavesdrop on passwords/account numbers/etc. and in general cause trouble.

As usual, I will test them out in the test base and confirm here once installation is confirmed OK and operational.

Also, about a week ago, Apple released additional fixes for OSX that Mac users will want to download and install (if the system didn’t already prompt you to update automatically).
