Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) plans to publish five “critical” security bulletins, three “important” ones, as well as a number of “high-priority” non-security updates, on 8 April 2008. A new Microsoft® Windows® Malicious Software Removal Tool will also be released.
All five “critical” bulletins relate to remote code execution vulnerabilities. Four affect Microsoft Windows, Internet Explorer®, and/or JScript/VBScript. One pertains to Microsoft Project.
The three “important” bulletins are broken up as follows: spoofing, Microsoft Windows; privilege elevation, Microsoft Windows; and remote code execution, Microsoft Office Visio®.
Most updates require a restart. — In other words, apparently nothing out of the ordinary so far. Some further information can be found through the external links listed below; details will, as always, be available on the release day.
