Microsoft
will not release any security updates as part of its
Patch
Tuesday security release cycle this month.
The software vendor usually issues security updates on the second Tuesday of
each month.
The last occasion that Microsoft failed to release any patches was back in
September 2005, when it originally planned to issue a
single
'critical' update, but later
pulled the
bulletin describing the patch from its website.
The lack of an update in March does not indicate that there are no security
holes in Windows, however. Microsoft said that it continues to investigate
potential and existing vulnerabilities in the software.
"There are many factors that affect the length of time between the discovery
of a vulnerability and the release of a security update, and every vulnerability
presents its own unique challenges," a company spokesperson said.
Microsoft still plans to issue its regular update for the
Malicious
Software Removal Tool as well as two non-security updates.
