Security News > 2020 > June > Microsoft Patch Tuesday, June 2020 Edition
Microsoft today released software patches to plug at least 129 security holes in its Windows operating systems and supported software, by some accounts a record number of fixes in one go for the software giant.
June marks the fourth month in a row that Microsoft has issued fixes to address more than 100 security flaws in its products.
Eleven of the updates address problems Microsoft deems "Critical," meaning they could be exploited by malware or malcontents to seize complete, remote control over vulnerable systems without any help from users.
Perhaps most troubling of these is a remote code execution bug in SMB capabilities built into Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 systems - both operating systems that Microsoft stopped supporting with security updates in January 2020.
Windows 7 users should be aware by now that while a fair number of flaws addressed this month by Microsoft affect Windows 7 systems, this operating system is no longer being supported with security updates.
