REDMAN, Wash., Oct. 16 (UPI) -- The Microsoft Corp. issued two security bulletins Thursday that fix seven security flaws, five of which were ranked as critical.
Information Security Magazine said the patches are part of the first round of security bulletins issued under Microsoft's new policy of releasing patches on a monthly schedule whenever possible.
Microsoft said the new monthly bulletin release cycle will add a level of predictability and manageability for customers and allow them to test and deploy patches in a timely manner.
Security experts praised Microsoft's new plan to release vulnerability advisories once a month, rather than as needed.
An independent security researcher, Richard Smith, told the magazine:"The number of Windows patch files is getting out of hand. This is a good way of consolidating vast amounts of information."
