Microsoft Security Bulletin Summary for July 2008

Patch Tuesday or patch Wednesday... it all depends on which part of the world you're in. For me it's patch Wednesday and yes, yesterday Microsoft released their monthly bulletin with 4 "important" updates.

On July 8th, Microsoft released the following updates:

Important:

• MS08-040 - Vulnerabilities in Microsoft SQL Server Could Allow Elevation of Privilege (941203)
