SIA Alert - Microsoft Patch Tuesday - 3/9/10

Patch Tuesday was not as exciting this month with only eight security fixes, but every patch can be important, so make sure your updates go through. 

Gregg Keizer summarized the release as follows:

"Computerworld - Microsoft fixed eight flaws in Windows and Office today, but passed on patching one Windows component because it cannot be automatically updated.

The eight bugs patched today were far from the near-record 26 that Microsoft fixed last month when it delivered 13 security updates. Both of today's bulletins were ranked "important," the second-highest rating in Microsoft's four-step severity scoring system, even though the company acknowledged that the eight vulnerabilities could be used to completely compromise a Windows PC."

The complete article can be found at the link below.  If you're one of the few who use Microsoft's PowerPoint 2003 add-on called Producer, you should definitely read the full article to find out more about an unpatched issue with it.
