Microsoft Security Bulletins - September 2006

It does not take much effort on your part to update your home computer. After all, we're only talking about Microsoft updates once per month and always on the second Tuesday. That is easy enough to keep track of. But don't worry. If you forget, I'll be sure to remind you.

For September, Microsoft released 3 new bulletins (1 critical, 1 important and 1 moderate), 2 re-released bulletins and 2 security advisories today. For more detailed information see this month’s bulletin summary.

Critical:

• MS06-054: Vulnerability in Microsoft Publisher Could Allow Remote Code Execution (910729)

Important:

• MS06-052: Vulnerability in Pragmatic General Multicast (PGM) Could Allow Remote Code Execution (919007)

Moderate:

Re-Released Bulletins:

• MS06-040: Vulnerability in Server Service Could Allow Remote Code Execution (921883) (Originally released August 8. This addresses a critical security problem)
