Microsoft releases seven security patches
Wednesday, July 12th, 2006
As part of its monthly roundup of security patches for July, Microsoft Corp. today released seven 
bulletins detailing fixes for vulnerabilities in a wide range of its products.
Five of the bulletins address critical vulnerabilties, while two provide fixes for less severe flaws. Among the critical flaws disclosed today are two that exist on the server side.
One is a vulnerability in the Windows Server Service that could allow hackers to remotely execute code on compromised systems. The other critical server flaw involves the Window Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol Client Service. It, too, could result in remote code execution, according to Microsoft.
"DHCP is a communication protocol that allows administrators to centrally manage and automate the assignment of Internet Protocol (IP) addresses in an organization’s network," security vendor Symantec Corp. said in an advisory after the updates were announced.
