Remember the browse and get owned attacks? Well, for the people that update Tuesday the problem goes away.

Sure enough though there will be tons of people who don't and they will get pwn3d.

Microsoft said on Thursday that it will issue six security updates on Patch Tuesday next week, including a critical one that will fix two outstanding holes in DirectX that have been targeted in attacks.

In May, Microsoft announced that there had been attacks against a DirectX vulnerability that could allow someone to take complete control of a computer using a maliciously crafted QuickTime file.

Earlier this week, Microsoft warned of attacks being launched that exploit a hole in the Video ActiveX Control when used in Internet Explorer for recording and playing video in DirectShow. Microsoft offered a workaround on Monday for that hole, which reportedly it had known about since last year.

Don't forget to update!
