A trio of what appear to be new, yet-to-be-patched flaws in Microsoft Office has surfaced, according to security researchers at McAfee.
Microsoft has pulled four bulletins from its announced list of Patch Tuesday fixes, but did not specify why it was backpedalling on the security releases.
Microsoft today released its October 2007 security bulletin, which includes six updates: four are designated as Critical by the software giant; two are deemed Important, and one previously announced patch was dropped.
Microsoft on Tuesday issued five "critical" security patches designed to address vulnerabilities in Windows, Microsoft Office, and Internet Explorer.
Patch Tuesday this week will include fixes for six security bugs, three of which are rated 'critical'.
Security researchers worked overtime in 2007, which turned out to be a nightmare for software vendors from day one.
