Greg Lambert: Microsoft Patch Tuesday: March 2013


With this month's Microsoft Patch Tuesday update, we see a set of seven
updates, four of which are marked as "Critical," addressing serious
problems that could enable someone to access your computer if they are not
patched. The remaining three are rated as "Important," and, while
they aren't as serious as the critical patches, they do address security
issues that need to be fixed. Most of the seven patches affect Microsoft Office,
with only two impacting Windows.
