Tracking Microsoft Vulnerability Patches 2014
As shown in the chart above, number of vulnerabilities which were patched this month is significantly low in comparison to last month where almost double the number of vulnerabilities was fixed. One common thing between last month and this month is that IE continues to be the most vulnerable among other Microsoft products.
This Patch Tuesday turns out to be an IE dominated release. As we do every month, we’ve released a signature update #2396 to address vulnerabilities fixed in this month's patches. Happy patching!
