Newsletter compiled by Jon Munshaw.

It’s that time again to update all your Microsoft products. The company released its monthly update Tuesday, disclosing more than 60 vulnerabilities in a variety of its products. This month’s security update covers security issues in a variety of Microsoft services and software, the Chakra Scripting Engine, the Windows operating system and the SharePoint software. We’ve got a rundown of the most important bugs here, and all our Snort coverage here.

We also have our weekly Threat Roundup, which you can find on the blog every Friday afternoon. There, we go over the most prominent threats we’ve seen (and blocked) over the past week.
