September's batch of Microsoft security patches was trimmed Friday, as Microsoft announced that a planned update to its SharePoint collaboration software would not be released this month.

The update was to fix an elevation of privilege flaw, which had been rated "important" by Microsoft. This type of flaw can be used to give attackers access to Windows resources that would otherwise be blocked off.

Microsoft, which declined to comment further on the matter, did not say when -- or if -- it would patch the bug. The flaw affects Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 on Windows Server 2003 and Office SharePoint Server 2007.
