RSSMicrosoft Issues Three Critical Patches
By Nate Mook | Published July 12, 2005, 1:46 PM
As part of its July security bulletin, Microsoft has issued three critical patches for Windows and Office. Each fix covers a vulnerability that could enable remote code execution on an affected machine, and possibly enable an attacker to take complete control over the system.
The vulnerability in Office involves a font parsing problem in Word, which was discovered by iDEFENSE. The two other critical patches correct problems in the Microsoft Color Management Module and JView Profiler, both of which affect all versions of Windows. Windows 98 and Me, however, are not critically affected and will not be patched.
Microsoft has an RSS feed alerting of updates, by the way...

|in my ever increasing need to learn more, how do you set up the RSS feed you talked about. What are they and what do they actually do?

|I use Mozilla Thunderbird for Betanews's RSS feed. Each article comes looking like an e-mail, delete them if you have no interest in them or keep them in your in-box as long as you want. If you don't have Thunderbird, you can get it free, here: http://www.mozilla.org/products/
Open Thunderbird and choose , then toward the bottom left, choose . Then click then and enter the URL to the feed.
FYI I believe RSS Feeds are always written using XML. On Betanews's site you will see an XML link at the bottom right, pointing to http://www.betanews.com/rss2 . That is the URL to add for their RSS Feed.
Once you get that set up, you'll learn about it more as you use it.
