Department of Homeland Security tell everyone to patch Windows

Created by Stuart Yeates (University of Oxford) on August 11, 2006

The US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has issued guidance that everyone should install patch MS06-040 for Microsoft Windows systems. There doesn't appear to be any information released about what makes this patch any more significant than any of the others from Microsoft.

More comprehensive information about security issues is available, as always, from US-CERT. Their list of alerts also shows that it's not just the "usual suspects" of Microsoft and Internet Explorer that are causing problems, but the likes of Oracle, Mozilla, Apple and Sendmail.
