Microsoft will issue a total of six patches on the July 8th patch Tuesday; the 2 fixes deemed critical will be directed at a flaw which would (again) allow hackers to mount remote code execution attacks on the Windows operating system as well as Internet Explorer.

The patch summary was listed on the Microsoft Security Bulletin Advance Notification and although two of the patches are rated critical, according to the Inquirer, security experts seem to think that none of the vulnerabilities are too worrying and are part of what appears to be a fairly minor Patch Tuesday.

The release comprised two updates tagged with Microsoft's highest security rating of critical, MS14-035 and MS14-036, and five rated important. The patches fixed 66 vulnerabilities overall, including resolutions for flaws that apply to IE, Microsoft Windows, Microsoft Office and Microsoft Lync.
