One of the fixes involves a 8-month-old privilege escalation vulnerability in XP, Vista, 2003 and 2008 that has exploit code reportedly available in the wild. When used in combination with a vulnerability that could allow remote code execution it could effectively allow exploits to be run at a higher level of privilege, potentially making this a much more serious issue.
Four critical updates, Windows 1 and 2, Microsoft Word and Excel bulletins, four key pieces of software and major applications used within the enterprise, will require reboots to their systems and servers, adding a degree of complexity and disruption to network productivity. While it may be tempting to avoid restarting servers and systems especially at this time of the year, it is imperative that all IT professionals pay particular attention to the critical updates and patch as quickly as business conditions permit.
Windows 1 affects all shipping versions of Windows platform while Windows 2 affects only Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008. The update for Internet Explorer is also another critical update that will be interesting to watch as it affects all commonly deployed versions of IE, including IE 7.
The Word bulletin is something people should be on the lookout for as this could impact Outlook 2007, one of the most commonly used email clients by businesses today. In particular, it could pose challenges for organisations that use Microsoft Word as the Outlook email editor. If exploits appear that attack this vulnerability, try disabling Word as the Outlook email editor until your organization has deployed the upcoming patch.
