In what is being called the largest single release of corrective patches from software giant Microsoft, the company made available fixes for 22 software flaws. Seven of these are considered "critical" security holes. Many of the flaws were corrected with the installation of XP Service Pack 2, however it addresses some flaws not covered by the service pack update.

A "cumulative security update" plugs eight holes in the Internet Explorer browser, while other patches address "critical" vulnerabilities in the Windows shell, in SMTP and elsewhere.

Microsoft on Tuesday announced its latest round of patches, focusing almost exclusively on flaws in older operating systems, servers and applications that were largely covered by Microsoft XP Service Pack 2 (SP2). Nevertheless, this month's "Patch Tuesday" was busy, with Microsoft releasing 10 security bulletins for various vulnerabilities, a majority of which could allow for remote code execution or result in a denial of service. Several of the bulletins include more than one patch, comprising 20-odd patches in all.
