This week in patching was highlighted by Microsoft’s Patch Tuesday.  Microsoft released six new security bulletins addressing 13 vulnerabilities.  I have a full write up on Patch Tuesday here.

On the non-Microsoft front, I did not see any security updates released.  However, there were a few non-security updates released that you may want to get installed to fix various issues.

On Monday, two vendors released updates for their programs to fix crashing issues.  Notepad++ 6.2.1  and Filezilla 3.6.0 are non-security updates fixing crash issues.

On Tuesday, an update for AT&T Global Network Client was released with version 9.1.0.  The release notes have not been updated yet.  Without a published update, I am under the assumption at this point that the release is a non-security update.

VMware also released updates for MozyHome and MozyPro with version 2.18.0.227.  These updates are non-security updates fixing numerous issues and introducing new features.

On Thursday, Microsoft released a new version of Skype with version 6.0.0.126.  The highlight of this non-security update is a fix that addresses issues when upgrading to the latest version of Skype.

Due to the holiday week next week, I will not have a weekly write up for the week in patching next Friday.  I will provide an update in patching for the holiday week the following Monday.

Happy Patching!
