Pete Voss here, and as I previously mentioned in the Advanced Notification blog on Thursday, today we are releasing 17 security bulletins, nine of which are Critical, and eight rated Important.
These bulletins will increase protection by addressing 64 unique vulnerabilities in the following Microsoft products: Microsoft Windows, Microsoft Office, Internet Explorer, Visual Studio, SMB, .NET Framework and GDI+. I did want to point out that 30 of these vulnerabilities are addressed by a single bulletin, MS11-034, and they all share the same couple of root causes. The bulletin is rated Important.
This month, there are three top priority bulletins, all rated Critical: MS11-020(SMB Server), MS11-019 (SMB Client) and MS11-018 (Internet Explorer). As always, Microsoft recommends that customers test and deploy all bulletins as soon as possible.
