Microsoft’s latest Patch Tuesday for August 2023 saw the company fixing 74 software flaws, a breath of fresh air compared to the shoulder-breaking 132 done last month. If software flaws were friends, Microsoft would be the most popular kid on the block, but these are not the kind of pals you want hanging around.
Among the sewn-up flaws, six were categorized as Critical and 67 as Important. This distinction was as clear as between night and day, or for those tech nerds among us, as between HDD and SSD. The Critical ones, like that cousin who always creates chaos at family gatherings, demanded immediate attention, while the Important ones were like the requests to fix your father’s computer – not urgent, but you’re going to hear about it if they get ignored.
In a move reminiscent of a mom covering her child in bubble wrap, Microsoft also took an extra step to reinforce the defenses of its applications. The tech provider released two defense-in-depth updates for Microsoft Office (ADV230003) and the Memory Integrity System. Because in the world of software, there’s no such thing as being too safe. After all, you wouldn’t download a car without antivirus software, right?
In its latest Patch Tuesday for August 2023, Microsoft has tightened up its security game by patching 74 software flaws. While it’s fewer glitches than the previous month’s 132, the repairs encompassed six Critical and 67 Important vulnerabilities. In addition, the company put up its tech dukes by releasing defense-in-depth updates for Microsoft Office and the Memory Integrity System. So the next time your computer updates in the middle of an important task, remember – it’s the tech world’s way of saying, “I’ll protect you, even if you did forget to save your work.”
