Update Tuesday, April 2015 Urgent action needed over Microsoft HTTP bug

Chet Chat: If you only apply one patch, or are keen to find one to lead off with, make it MS15-034. The bug affects pretty much any Windows software that uses Microsofts HTTP stack to respond to HTTP requests, whether that software runs on desktops, laptops or servers. A successful exploit gives the attacker SYSTEM privileges. That is as good as taking over your computer entirely. There are 10 other security updates from Microsoft this month, including the usual Cumulative Security Update for Internet Explorer.”]
