Microsoft is to release four critical updates next Tuesday.

The patches to be released on so-called Patch Tuesday include fixes for 
a vulnerability that allows remote code execution in Windows Media 
Player 11 on various Microsoft operating systems and for a vulnerability 
that allows remote code execution in various versions of the Windows OS 
and related products, including 2003 Server, Vista, XP, Office, .Net 
Framework, Works, Visual Studio, Visual FoxPro and other software.

The two other patches will address remote code execution in Windows 
Media Encoder 9 and in Office and Office OneNote 2007.
