Microsoft will release the August security Bulletin in August 9 (Patch Tuesday), which includes 13 security patches to patch 22 vulnerabilities in software such as IE, Windows, Visio, and Visual Studio.

Of these 13 security patches, there are 2 "critical" levels of security patches, which rank first in Microsoft's level four security system. 9 is a "critical" level of security patches. The remaining 2 are "medium" level security patches.

Andrew storms, head of security operations at NCircle Security, said Microsoft's two-month patch for IE browsers was one of the two "critical" levels of patches. Most experts recommend that users use this patch first.

Another "critical" level patch is a security vulnerability in the two latest versions of Microsoft Server software, Windows Server 2008 and Server 2008 R2. Windows Server 2003, which has been 8 years old, is also affected by this vulnerability, but Microsoft has rated this version of the patch as "important" rather than "serious".

Microsoft's "Third security patch" fixes only security vulnerabilities in Windows 7 and Server 2008 R2. Of the 9 patches Microsoft has released for Windows, 5 are available for Windows XP. Microsoft hopes to eliminate XP as soon as possible.

Microsoft will also be. NET Framework and Visual Studio 2005 development tools to release a patch. Another fix is a vulnerability in a Visio table application that is part of an Office product.
