It’s expected to be a relatively quiet patch day for IT security administrators managing Windows systems.
Microsoft Corp. on Thursday announced plans to release just one security bulletin on May 10 to provide a fix for flaws in the Windows operating system.
The solitary bulletin will carry a maximum severity rating of “important,” the second-highest in its publicly available severity rating system.
An “important” rating means that a successful exploit could result in data compromise or denial-of-service attacks.
Microsoft said the May update would not require a restart and can be detected using the MBSA (Microsoft Baseline Security Analyzer). As is customary, no further information was provided.
