Microsoft will release four security updates this week

Microsoft will release the first updates of the year next week, and it looks like they will be among the most "light" updates in recent months .

Redmond will release four security bulletins for January 2014, which address issues in Windows 7, Microsoft Word and SharePoint, as well as a fix for a recently discovered zero-day flaw in Windows XP and Windows Server 2003.

Surprisingly, after a long time, none of these updates are marked as critical.
