And you thought August’s Patch Tuesday was a big one. This month, Microsoft is set to patch just shy of fifty vulnerabilities encompassed in sixteen security bulletins to be issued next week.

Unfortunately, it seems many of the fixes will require a reboot. Read the Microsoft Security Bulletin Advance Notification for October here:
