Today, Microsoft announced the Advanced Notification for the November 2009 patch day. They are planning on releasing six new bulletins. These six bulletins address 15 vulnerabilities.
- Three bulletins are rated as Critical.
- Three bulletins are rated as Important.
- Five bulletins can lead to Remote Code Execution.
- One bulletin can lead to Denial Of Service.
- Four bulletins affect the Windows Operating System.
All operating systems are affected except Windows 7. - Two bulletins affect Microsoft Office.
Microsoft Excel, Word and Excel Viewer are affected
Adobe released their quarterly security bulletin update last month, so there is no current planned release for Adobe this month.
More information regarding the bulletins will be released next Tuesday as Patch Day hits. This month, administrators are getting a bit of a break compared to last month. Six bulletins that affect pretty much any machine on your network can be painful, but this patch day will not be as bad as October’s Patch Day.
