Tip: Click here to update all your PC's outdated driversMicrosoft will release six security bulletins this Tuesday. Three are rated as "Critical" and the other three are marked "Important."
According to the Microsoft Security Response Center, Microsoft will issue six Security Bulletins on Tuesday, and it will host a webcast to address customer questions about the bulletins the following day (November 10 at 11:00am PST, if you're interested). Three of the vulnerabilities are rated "Critical," and the other three are marked as "Important." All of the Critical vulnerabilities earned their rating through a remote code execution impact, meaning a hacker could potentially gain control of an infected machine. At least four of the six patches will require a restart.
The list of affected operating systems includes Windows 2000, Windows XP (x86 and x64), Windows Server 2003 (x86 and x64), Windows Vista (x86 and x64), and Windows Server 2008 (x86 and x64). Windows 7 is excluded from the list but one of the updates applies to Windows Server 2008 R2.
In terms of the Microsoft Office suites, Office XP, Office 2003, Office 2007, Office 2004 for Mac, Office 2008 for Mac, Open XML File Format Converter for Mac, Office Excel Viewer 2003, Office Word Viewer 2003, and the Office Compatibility Pack for Word, Excel, and PowerPoint 2007 File Formats are affected.
The exact breakdown of the bulletins is as follows:
* Bulletin 1: Critical (Remote Code Execution), Windows
* Bulletin 2: Critical (Remote Code Execution), Windows
* Bulletin 3: Critical (Remote Code Execution), Windows
* Bulletin 4: Critical (Denial of Service), Windows
* Bulletin 5: Critical (Remote Code Execution), Office
* Bulletin 6: Critical (Remote Code Execution), Office
Along with these patches, Microsoft is also planning to release the following on Patch Tuesday:
* One or more nonsecurity, high-priority updates on Windows Update (WU) and Windows Server Update Services (WSUS)
* One or more nonsecurity, high-priority updates on Microsoft Update (MU) and WSUS
* An updated version of the Microsoft Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool on Windows Update, Microsoft Update, Windows Server Update Services, and the Microsoft Download Center
This information is subject to change by Patch Tuesday; Microsoft has been known to rush patches as well as pull them if it deems it necessary.

a lot of "critical" patches do no more than knock out loaders and blacklist serials.
