It's been a while since my last post because I have been putting most of my time into a network hardware upgrade. That project is now mostly complete, so I'm getting back to the security blog. And what better place to begin than with a preview of the upcoming Patch Tuesday.
Microsoft is now planning to release only one CRITICAL security patch for Windows on Tuesday, January 9. They will also be releasing CRITICAL security patches for Office, and non-security patches for Windows. At this point, we don't know the details what vulnerabilities will be patched, so even though it won't be a lot of patches, they might still be very important. We'll find out more on Tuesday...
