Microsoft squashes bugs

Microsoft has issued <A HREF="http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,1895,2156623,00.asp">patches for seven critical flaws</A> in Excel, Windows Active Directory and the .Net Framework.

Those seven vulnerabilities cover the worst-hit applications. The July 10 Patch Tuesday saw a total of 11 vulnerabilities fixed in six security bulletins.

Analysts were warning about the critical .Net flaw ahead of the bulletin release, given the framework's core role in supplying code to a vast array of Windows applications, such as in pre-coded user interfaces, data access components, database connectivity, cryptography, Web application development, algorithms and network communications modules.
