Microsoft will deliver no fewer than 13 security bulletins on October's Patch Tuesday.
The bumper security update includes eight critical issues, and five that are classed as important. Windows 7 RTM also makes an appearance in the Patch Tuesday line-up for the first time.
The 13 bulletins address a total of 34 vulnerabilities, most of which are related to remote code execution. There are also fixes to counter denial-of-service attacks, elevation of privileges and spoofing.
