Microsoft gave advance notice (http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/advance.mspx) today of the 12 security patches which will be released on Tuesday: 10 relating to Windows and two relating to Office. This advance notification does not include severity ratings.
Unpatched vulnerabilities continue to be a significant weapon in the armoury of malware writers, and Microsoft has been kept particularly busy releasing patches in recent months.
