Microsoft Recalls Four Security Patches
Microsoft recalls four security patches without specifying a reason.
In a strange move, Microsoft has pulled back pulled four bulletins from its announced list of Patch Tuesday fixes, but has not indicated why it has done so. In its place it will now be planning to issue four security bulletins on Tuesday.
Out of the four bulletins to be issued now, three bulletins will contain fixes for office and one of them will be rated critical. The fourth fix has also been rated as crucial, but it is unknown as of now as to which platform will the fourth patch be applicable too. This has been done by Microsoft, to prevent the spread of "Trojans for the occasion" attacks.
