(InfoWorld) - After handling 19 sets of patches inÂ JulyÂ andÂ August, system administrators will catch a bit of a break next week when Microsoft Corp. is expected to release just three security updates for its Windows and Office products. On Thursday, Microsoft said that only one of these updates, for Office, is rated as critical. The updates will be released Tuesday in line with Microsoft's monthly patch release schedule. Microsoft'sÂ advance notification on the updatesÂ can be found at its Web site. The other two updates, which fix problems with Windows, are rated no higher than Important, meaning that user action would be required before an attack based on these flaws could succeed. As usual, Microsoft did not release any further details on the patches. That information will be divulged when the patches are made available Tuesday. But the company may be planning to patch aÂ recently reported flaw in its Word 2000 software. Earlier this week Symantec Corp. warned that the flaw was being exploited by attackers to run unauthorized software on a victim's computer. Â
