Today Microsoft patched 26 vulnerabilities, a record high since their monthly patch cycle started. Among the patched vulnerabilities are the 0-Day vulnerabilities in Word and PowerPoint that have been used in targeted attacks against large enterprises. The vulnerability in the WebViewFolderIcon ActiveX object that allows for Internet Explorer drive-by-install and drive-by-download attacks, has been patched as well. None of today's patched vulnerabilities has been tagged as a worm candidate.
The anticipated remediation of the vulnerability in the DirectAnimation.PathControl ActiveX object in Internet Explorer did not see the light yet.
The update of our graphs of last month is found below. The graphs show that Microsoft has continued the trend of patching a large number of critical vulnerabilities each month.
