Microsoft to release 5 Critical Updates on Patch Tuesday

Wiz Feinberg · From: Mid-Michigan, USA

Microsoft is preparing five critical security bulletins for the Patch Tuesday release September 8, 2009. Monthly patches are usually available any time after 2PM Eastern time, or your equivalent.

All five are classified as remote code execution vulnerabilities in Microsoft Windows. The bulletins cover various editions of the operating system, ranging from Windows 2000 to Windows Server 2008.

One recently announced flaw in Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS), already being exploited in the wild, will not be fixed this Tuesday, so Microsoft proposed this temporary workaround:

Microsoft advises administrators to modify NTFS (NT File System) permissions to disallow directory creation by FTP users and to disallow FTP write access to untrusted anonymous users.
