It is the second Tuesday of the month. Translation? Microsoft patch day! The software giant today delivered nine security updates addressing nineteen software vulnerabilities, including five issues associated with the important Active Template Library.

Schultze, who called the ATL fixes a "whole handful," also ranked MS09-037 at the top of today's list. "There are five individual patches for five individual controls, each used in different [Microsoft] software. It's good that Microsoft's patched this, but it's going to be really difficult for people to patch."
