Microsoft Corp. issued six "critical" security patches to fix flaws in its software products that the company warned could allow attackers to take control of a user's computer.
Microsoft issued the patches as part of its monthly security bulletin. There were no patches issued in the update for the newest version of Windows, called Vista.
Microsoft made Vista available to consumers in January after five years of development and a number of delays to improve security. The company says the new operating system is the most secure Windows program ever.
Microsoft defines a flaw as "critical" when the vulnerability could allow a damaging Internet worm to replicate without the user doing anything to the machine.
