The usual heads-up from Microsoft for this month mentions two vulnerabilities, one critical and one important. The patches which will address these vulnerabilities will be released on 11 November 2008 (12 November for those in Asia-Pac) during the routine "Patch Tuesday" cycle. Both the vulnerabilities affect the Windows OS from Windows 2000 Pro/Server up to Windows Server 2008 including Windows XP/Vista and Windows Server 2003. Furthermore, a Microsoft Office component is affected. For more information on the affected OS and application plus other relevant information pertaining to the release, please visit the following link:

Expect another busy week ahead, what with all the regression testing, deployment tests, and more that the sys admins and application owners/testers will go through prior to the productive release of the patches in an enterprise. No rest. For the wicked admins.
