ComputerWorld Patch Tuesday Posting for June 2015

After last May’s mammoth Patch Tuesday update (17 updates) we see a much smaller security release for June. With eight security related patches, two are rated as critical and the remaining six as important by Microsoft. Internet Explorer has another full update and it looks like we have an update to two key system files that historically have caused a number of compatibility issues and system crashes. The first key file updated this month is the very familiar common control library (COMCTL32.DLL) that was the source of many file conflict issues in the past. The second low-level system file scheduled for an update is the Win32K.DLL system library. Both files and their corresponding Microsoft patches, will require extensive testing before full deployment.
