(InfoWorld) - Microsoft will release six sets of security patches next Tuesday, four of which will fix critical flaws in the Windows operating system. The software will be released as part of Microsoft's regular monthly security release, known informally as "Patch Tuesday." Microsoft is also planning less critical updates for Visio and Windows Vista, the company said in a note, published Thursday. Microsoft considers an update critical when the flaw could be used by an attacker to remotely run unauthorized software on the victim's machine, theoretically leading to the propagation of an Internet worm. This month, Microsoft has revealed a few more details on the upcoming patches than it has in the past. That's part ofÂ a new plan to help IT administratorsÂ better prepare for Patch Tuesday by letting them know exactly what versions of Microsoft's products will be affected by the updates. Last month, Microsoft released seven groups of patches on Patch Tuesday.
