The update tackles two ‘zero-day’ vulnerabilities.
This is a term used to describe a security issue that may have been actively exploited by cybercriminals.
Microsoft labeled 10 of the issues as critical.
One of the zero-day vulnerabilities affects the Windows User Profile Service.
The other is a bug found in the Windows Common Log File System Driver.
Microsoft has revealed little information about the flaws so they can’t be exploited further.
Popular applications like the Windows OS, Microsoft Office and Skype for Business are said to be affected.
If you’re a Windows 10 user most updates should download automatically.
