Just like old times??!!??

I remember when a security update from Microsoft would always be a big one.

Well, looks like, on august 10, they’re going back to the hugemongous patch day.

Here’s the dope from SANS:

 –Microsoft to Issue 14 Security Bulletins on August 10
(August 5, 2010)
On Tuesday, August 10, Microsoft will release 14 security bulletins to
address a record-setting 34 vulnerabilities in Microsoft Windows,
Internet Explorer, Microsoft Office and the Microsoft Silverlight
development platform.  Eight of the bulletins are rated critical; the
other six are rated important.  The flaws could be exploited to allow
remote code execution or privilege elevation.

[Editor's Note (Skoudis): A record!  How exciting.  Actually... not.
Does it feel to you like we're moving backwards here?  It does to me.]

I agree, Ed.
