Microsoft
plans to issue 12 security bulletins on 12 February, including seven fixes for
vulnerabilities rated as 'critical'.
The security fixes will be released next week on Microsoft's scheduled Patch
Tuesday monthly update.
Seven patches address 'critical' vulnerabilities that could allow an attacker
to remotely execute code. Three address issues in Office, one in Internet
Explorer and the remaining three in Windows.
At least one of the 'critical' flaws in Office also affects Mac OS X users.
Five additional bulletins are rated 'important' by Microsoft. These include
two denial of service vulnerabilities in Windows, a Windows user elevation
privilege flaw and remote code execution vulnerabilities in Office and Windows.
Microsoft often patches multiple vulnerabilities and software versions with a
single bulletin, so the exact number of flaws addressed in the update will not
be known until the update is released on Tuesday.
