Microsoft (NSDQ:MSFT) issued four "important" security bulletins for today's Patch Tuesday release, resolving nine security errors that could lead an attacker to gain elevated login rights, spoof a user's account or launch arbitrary code on a victim's PC.
Security experts said that one of the most severe updates contained in this month's Patch Tuesday bundle includes a fix that resolves two vulnerabilities in the Windows Domain Name System (DNS). The vulnerabilities could open the door up for an attacker to redirect user's Internet traffic to launch a spoofing attack -- a multi-platform error affecting Unix and Linux, as well as Windows, platforms, experts said.
