Mega Patch Tuesday

Last month, you could've slept through Patch Tuesday, there was so little action. But now that you're all rested, you can handle tomorrow's Patch Tuesday with its eight remedies, six of them critical.

Once again, remote code execution (RCE) is the theme of the day, as all patches address this stubborn bugaboo. If you have Windows XP, Vista, Windows 2000 or Windows Server 2003 or 2008, get your spackle ready -- cuz it's time to patch!
