KrebsonSecurity has reported that Microsoft plans to kick off patch Tuesday by delivering a fix for a substantial cryptographic flaw present in all versions of Windows. Krebs believes the flaw lies within the crypt32.dll file, and if unpatched it could leave installations vulnerable to malware spoofing as trusted components with fake digital signatures that appear to be valid.
