Patch Tuesday June 2014
We are halfway through the year this month. Microsoft is publishing seven bulletins this month bringing the half-year total to 36. This is quite a bit below last year’s pace which was 46. We have become accustomed to see around 100 security bulletins for Microsoft products a year, but it looks as if we are in for fewer this year. This runs counter to the general tendency of the year which has already seen its shares of big breaches, 0-days and the big Heartbleed vulnerability in OpenSSL. Maybe the reduced count is based on the increased presence of vulnerability brokers that buy up vulnerabilities for internal use? We will see how the second part of the year develops.
