Microsoft Corp. will ease into the patch year by issuing just two security updates next week, the company said today.
The updates will fix flaws in Windows, Microsoft said in the prepatch notice. One will be rated "critical," the company's most serious ranking, while the other will be tagged as "important," the next-lower rating.
Tuesday's critical update is expected to patch a remote code execution vulnerability found in all currently supported versions of Windows, ranging from Windows 2000 SP4 to Windows Vista. The bug is especially threatening to users of Windows XP and Vista, according to Microsoft. The company ranked the flaw critical to those operating systems, but important to Windows Server 2003 and "moderate" to Windows 2000.
