OVERVIEW:
Microsoft will be releasing critical security patches for June
on Wednesday 13 June 2007 at:
5:00 am AEST (ACT, NSW, QLD, Tasmania, Victoria)

4:00 am AWST (WA)
Further details are available from the Microsoft web site [1].
DETAILS:
Microsoft will be releasing six security bulletins:
o Internet Explorer 5, 6 and 7 - vulnerabilities allow
remote code execution.
o Outlook Express 6 and the Windows Mail component of
Windows Vista - remote code execution.
o Three bulletins for other Windows components - remote code
execution and information disclosure.
o Microsoft Office and Visio 2002 and 2003 - remote code execution.
Seven high priority non-security updates will also be released.
MITIGATION:
AusCERT advises that system administrators consider patching their
machines as quickly as possible following their release by Microsoft.
Bulletin information will be available from the Microsoft web site
soon after their release, and AusCERT will be distributing bulletins
to AusCERT members on Wednesday.
Historically, exploits targeting Microsoft vulnerabilities are
released in the days immediately following their announcement, so it
is critical that system administrators apply patches or mitigate
vulnerabilities as quickly as possible.
