Microsoft Corp has issued one of its biggest security fixes that would include a repair to its widely used Excel spreadsheet for flaws. Along with Microsoft, Adobe Systems has also issued an update to its Flash Player to address a vulnerability in the current version.
"Adobe's security engineers spent the weekend investigating the vulnerability, to figure out how to address the problem, then incorporated the fix into the latest update for the company's Flash software", said Brad Arkin, senior director of product security and privacy for Adobe.
Meanwhile, Microsoft has released 10 patches to address 34 flaws it identified across its Office, Windows, Internet Explorer and other products. It said three of the patches were high priority and should be deployed immediately to protect users from criminal attacks.
