After a busy February with 13 security bulletins, Microsoft is easing off the patching throttle a bit this month.  Microsoft released two new security bulletins addressing 8 vulnerabilities, all not publically known at this time. 


Guest editorial by Jason Miller  Microsoft has released six new security bulletins for December.  They have also released two new security advisories as well as one bulletin that has been re-released.  In addition to the Microsoft releases, even though Adobe’s quarterly security update is scheduled for next month, they are planning to release a security bulletin for Adobe Flash and Adobe Air today.

Microsoft has released 13 new security bulletins in the October 2009 version of Patch Tuesday.  Eight bulletins have a severity rating of Critical. The remaining five security bulletins have a severity rating of Important. For the first time, Windows 7 and Windows 2008 R2 are affected by security bulletins. The sheer volume of bulletins and subsequent patches this month will likely give administrator fits.
