Pete Voss here again, and as I previously mentioned in the Advanced Notification on Thursday, today we are releasing two bulletins to help protect customers. The bulletins address a Critical vulnerability in Microsoft Windows and two Important vulnerabilities in Microsoft Office.
MS11-035 is the sole Critical bulletin this month, and we recommend customers prioritize this bulletin. Microsoft always encourages customers to test and deploy all bulletins as soon as possible, and we have offered a broad overview of both bulletins below:
This security update resolves a privately reported vulnerability in the Windows Internet Name Service (WINS). The vulnerability could allow remote code execution if a user received specially crafted malware on an affected system running the WINS service. By default, WINS is not installed on any affected operating system. Only customers who manually install this component are affected by this issue and will be offered the update.
