Following the four security bulletins released on Patch Tuesday, September 9, 2008, Microsoft has bundled all the Windows updates into a single ISO image offered through the Download Center.
Via the September 2008 Security Release ISO Image package, the Redmond company is essentially delivering multiple individual language versions of the patches for the supported Windows client and server operating systems made available this month. Out of the four security bulletins published by Microsoft on September 9, no less than three, all Critical, impact Windows, including Windows Vista Service Pack 1 and Windows XP Service Pack 3.
“All of the vulnerabilities this month are client-side issues rated "critical." Five of the issues affect the GDI+ graphics library; the rest affect Media Player, Microsoft Office, and Media Encoder. All of the issues have the potential to see active exploits, but the GDI+ vulnerabilities have the most avenues of attack and affect the most systems,” explained Robert Keith, Symantec researcher.
“The highest potential for usage in malware is the GIF parsing vulnerability which may be used to execute malicious code straight from a malicious web page. We have not seen any samples exploiting these vulnerabilities yet, but we are monitoring the situation and will make sure all samples are detected,” stated Vanja Svajcer, SophosLabs, UK.
