Microsoft to Issue Seven Patches Next Week

Posted by Hilbert Hagedoorn on: 10/05/2012 05:40 AM | Source | 4 comment(s) ]

Next week on Tuesday Microsoft is going to reelase seven software updates, of which one is rated Critical and the other six Important to address bugs related towards Remote Code Execution, Denial of Service attacks or Elevation of Privileges as the security bulletin states. This advance notification provides a number as the bulletin identifier, because the official Microsoft Security Bulletin numbers are not issued until release. The bulletin summary that replaces this advance notification will have the proper Microsoft Security Bulletin numbers (in the MSyy-xxx format) as the bulletin identifier.

Bulletin ID	Maximum Severity Rating and Vulnerability Impact	Restart Requirement	Affected Software
Bulletin 1	Critical Remote Code Execution	May require restart	Microsoft Office, Microsoft Server Software
Bulletin 2	Important Remote Code Execution	May require restart	Microsoft Office
Bulletin 3	Important Elevation of Privilege	May require restart	Microsoft Office, Microsoft Server Software, Microsoft Lync
Bulletin 4	Important Remote Code Execution	May require restart	Microsoft Office, Microsoft Server Software
Bulletin 5	Important Elevation of Privilege	Requires restart	Microsoft Windows
Bulletin 6	Important Denial of Service	Requires restart	Microsoft Windows
Bulletin 7	Important Elevation of Privilege	May require restart	Microsoft SQL Server
