As part of its scheduled Patch Tuesday, Microsoft has released a batch of patches that covers the widely used Exchange Server, both the Exchange Server 2007 and Exchange Server 2010 editions, Windows and Internet Explorer. The patches are tucked inside 12 different security bulletins, five of which have Microsoft's highest security rating of 'Critical.' One of the fixed IE bugs could enable an attacker to remotely execute code if a user views a specially-crafted Webpage using Internet Explorer. So far, no attacks have been detected utilizing the vulnerabilities. Seven of the updates were rated "important" by Microsoft, and fixed vulnerabilities that could allow an attacker to carry out denial-of-service (DoS) attacks and gain elevated privilege in users' systems. Those patches affected several products, including Microsoft .NET Framework and Microsoft FAST Search Server 2010 for SharePoint. Windows has also critical updates. For Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, Windows Vista, and Windows Server 2008, MS13-011 addresses a critical vulnerability in the Windows Media Player that would allow code embedded in a media file to execute when the file is decompressed by the software.
