`Critical` PowerPoint Patch Coming Tuesday
Microsoft`s monthly Patch Tuesday release of bug fixes coming up on May 12 may seem a little thin next week, according to the company`s advance notice released Thursday.
This time, when it delivers the patches as well as security bulletins explaining the security implications, Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) only has one patch rated "critical."
However, that`s not to say that the patch isn`t needed.
For one thing, it may fix a zero-day (define) vulnerability in PowerPoint that popped up "in the wild" -- that is, being used in real Web attacks -- just ahead of Microsoft`s last Patch Tuesday on April 14.
