http://www.informationweek.com/news/windows/security/showArticle.jhtml?articleID=229201249 By Mathew J. Schwartz InformationWeek February 7, 2011 Microsoft's February Patch Tuesday will see the release this week of 12 security bulletins, patching a total of 22 vulnerabilities, including three that could be exploited via zero-day attacks. According to Wolfgang Kandek, CTO of Qualys, "these vulnerabilities have seen limited exploits in the wild, so applying the update is highly recommended." One of those bugs, a CSS-related vulnerability that affects all versions of Internet Explorer, was disclosed in late 2010 by a Google researcher. By early January, security firms reported that attackers were actively exploiting the bug. Microsoft will also patch a zero-day vulnerability in the Windows Graphics Rendering Engine. Attackers could exploit the flaw using malicious thumbnail images, and execute arbitrary code at the user's permission level.
