Black Tuesday - Microsoft December Patches

As part of Microsoft's routine, monthly security update cycle, we released the following security updates on December 12, 2006:

• MS06-072 - Critical - Microsoft Internet Explorer (KB925454)
• MS06-073 - Critical - Microsoft Visual Studio (KB925674)
• MS06-074 - Important - Microsoft Windows (KB926247)
• MS06-075 - Important - Microsoft Windows (KB926255)
• MS06-076 - Important - Microsoft Windows (KB923694)
• MS06-077 - Important - Microsoft Windows (KB926121)
• MS06-078 - Critical - Microsoft Windows Media Player (KB923689 and KB925398)
• MS06-059 (re-release) - Critical - Microsoft Office (KB924164)

Note that the MS06-059 bulletin has been updated, revised and re-released for Microsoft Excel 2002 to address the issues identified in Microsoft Knowledge Base Article 924164. So no fix for the new Office zero-day, as expected.

Also, note that the ASX vulnerability that was released by sehato recently has been patched as part of MS06-078.

Patch'em if you got'em!
