Microsoft issued eight updates on Tuesday - two more than expected - as
part of its Patch Tuesday update cycle.

Redmond classifies six of the octet as critical, while independent
security watchers reckon they all make the highest security grade. Worst
of the bunch is an update for ActiveX controls that affects Visual Basic
6.0's runtime (MS08-070.

The buffer overflow risk affects Visual Studio, Foxpro, Frontpage and MS
Project, along with third party apps that make use of the affected
component. Worse still exploit code has been doing the rounds since
April.
