MARCH 10, 2004 (IDG NEWS SERVICE) - One day after releasing a trio of security patches, Microsoft Corp. is upgrading the seriousness of one of those fixes to "critical."
The software update attached to security bulletin MS04-009 was initially described as an "important" patch (see story). The change follows "continued evaluation" by Microsoft's Security Response Center, a company spokesman wrote in an e-mail today.
