Security News > 2020 > August > Microsoft fixed these Windows and Internet Explorer zero-day flaws in latest Patch Tuesday security update
The latest series of Patch Tuesday security updates for Windows 10 includes patches for 17 bugs marked 'Critical' and 97 listed as 'Important'.
Microsoft has issued fixes for 120 vulnerabilities - including two zero-day exploits - in its latest Patch Tuesday security update for Windows 10.
Microsoft began rolling out the fixes yesterday, August 11, covering Windows 10 version 2004 all the way back to Windows 7 and Server 2008.
Kaspersky explained that the exploit was dangerous regardless of whether Internet Explorer was used as the primary web browser on a PC: some Microsoft applications, such as Office, often use Internet Explorer to display video and render web pages within documents via the ActiveX extension.
All of the latest Patch Tuesday fixes are available via Windows Update.
