Microsoft Corp.'s security center has confirmed that a patch for the already-exploited DNS server bug in Windows will be among the seven updates scheduled to release next Tuesday.

In a posting on the Microsoft Security Response Center (MSRC) blog, program manager Christopher Budd vouched for the patch. "The listing of updates slated for Tuesday does include the update we've been working on," Budd said.

His comments were posted after Microsoft announced that it would be releasing seven updates next week.

As recently as a week ago, Budd has said that while his group was making progress on a fix for the DNS vulnerability, he stopped short of guaranteeing a May 8 delivery. "We are increasingly confident that we will have an update," he said then, "[but] this could change."
