In the 12 security bulletins posted on its Web site, Microsoft outlined critical bugs in almost every supported edition of Windows, in Excel, and in Exchange. Only three of the dozen are not rated as "Critical," Microsoft's highest alert level in its four-step ranking. That trio was labeled as "Important," the second-highest warning used when Microsoft urges users to "install the update at the earliest opportunity." The previous 2004 record for the largest number of security bulletins released in a month was July, when the Redmond, Wash.-based developer posted eight. Patches for the bugs can be downloaded via the Windows Update service or through Automatic Update, Windows' in-the-background patching system. _________________________________________ Open Source Vulnerability Database (OSVDB) Everything is Vulnerable - http://www.osvdb.org/
