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 on Tuesday issued security patches that plug critical holes in Microsoft Word and Publisher and a vulnerability in Windows for which a zero-day exploit has been available for weeks.
Just one day after Microsoft's monthly patch was delivered, a new security hole in Microsoft Office was being exploited in cyberattacks.
Microsoft has no new security updates planned for Tuesday, despite at least five zero-day vulnerabilities that are waiting to be fixed.
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.
After skipping Patch Tuesday last month, administrators will have the joy of a double patch this month because Microsoft is rushing out a fix for its Windows cursor vulnerability.
