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.

    Yeah, but not today (incase you thought it was), May 10th.
