Microsoft to Issue Emergency Patches Next Week
,----[ Quote ]
| The advance notification advisory that Microsoft released about these
| upcoming patches doesn't say so explicitly, but a spokesperson for the
| company confirmed that the updates will address a critical security flaw in
| collection of code that Microsoft uses in a number of places in Windows.
| Having a vulnerability in this so-called "code library" is especially
| dangerous because Microsoft also provides this library to third-party
| software makers to help them build programs that can leverage certain
| built-in features of Windows.
