Hi everyone. Mike Reavey from the MSRC here. Today we're releasing our Advance Notification Service for the December 2010 security bulletin release. As we do every month, we've given information about the coming December release and provided links to detailed information so you can plan your deployment by product, service pack level, and severity. However, since this is the last release for the year, I thought it would also be good time to take a look back at the security releases we've had over the last 12 months.
First, for December we're releasing 17 updates addressing 40 vulnerabilities in Microsoft Windows, Office, Internet Explorer, SharePoint and Exchange. Of the 17, two bulletins are rated Critical, 14 are rated Important, and one is rated Moderate. As always, we recommend that customers review the ANS summary page for more information and prepare for the testing and deployment of these bulletins as soon as possible.
