Microsoft has released an infrequent out of band update to fix four vulnerabilities in.Net Framework.

Microsoft today, released 13 security updates as a part of the monthly patch Tuesday cycle to close 19 vulnerabilities found in their Windows, Office, Internet Explorer and Media Player/Media Center software.

Although they had planned to release 14 patches, the release of one of the updates had to be delayed. The patch in question was intended to close a vulnerability found in the SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 and the reason given for delaying the update was that they found an incompatibility during third party tests. The update will be released later, once the incompatibility issues are addressed properly.
