Today, we provide advance notification for the release of 16 Security Bulletins. Five of these updates are rated Critical, nine are rated as Important, and two are rated Moderate in severity. These updates are for Microsoft Windows, Internet Explorer, Office, Exchange, .NET Framework, Internet Information Services (IIS), Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP), Active Directory Federation Services (ADFS), Input Method Editor (IME) (Japanese), and Kernel Mode Driver (KMD).
As per our monthly process, we’ve scheduled the Security Bulletin release for the second Tuesday of the month, November 11, 2014, at approximately 10 a.m. PST. At that time, we’ll provide deployment guidance. Until then, please review the ANS summary page for more information to help you prepare for Security Bulletin testing and deployment.
We also want to let you know about a new way we will deliver our Security Bulletins. To streamline the way customers receive our security updates, we are directing customers to resources that will be available on the MSRC blog on Update Tuesday.
