Microsoft has released security patches for some of its products, fixing bugs in Internet Explorer, DirectX and Bluetooth. A seventh update, rated moderate, adds “kill bits” that disable buggy speech-recognition software and a program used to manage Logitech devices. Some of the flaws addressed in these patches can be exploited in Web-based attacks where a criminal tricks the victim into visiting a malicious Web page and then takes advantage of the bug to install malicious software on the Windows PC. The company has also released less-critical updates for its server products that fix bugs in Active Directory, the Windows Internet Name Service and the Pragmatic General Multicast protocol.”]
