Microsoft hasn’t yet posted its Patch Tuesday bulletins, but the updates have popped up on its Web site. Microsoft plans to issue seven security patches next week, including critical fixes for DirectX, IE and Bluetooth. A seventh update, rated “moderate,” is listed as a “Kill Bit” update for Windows. This type of patch will disable code that is known to have a security bug. The IE bugs affect IE 5, 6, and 7 too. The bugs can be exploited in Web-based attacks where a criminal tricks the victim into visiting a malicious Web page.”]
