June's Patch Tuesday patches 44 vulnerabilities in Microsoft Products

June's Microsoft Patch Tuesday is here and there are 16 security updates for Microsoft products that resolve 44 vulnerabilities in Windows, Office, Internet Explorer, and Microsoft Edge. Included in these updates are patches for 5 security bulletins labeled as critical because they allow an attacker to perform remote code execution on the vulnerable product. This would enable the attacker to execute commands or install further programs without your permission.  

Of particular interest are patches for Microsoft Edge and Internet Explorer vulnerabilities that would allow attackers to create specially crafted web pages that could infect a visiting computer. This would allow the attackers to download malware onto the computer to further compromise the system.

All users should immediately run Windows update and install these security updates as soon as possible. For a full list of the vulnerabilities and links to their respective bulletins, please see the table below.
