Next scheduled release: July 14, 2009
The heads up for this month is; On Tuesday 14th July (US time; Wednesday 15th July AU time) Microsoft expect to release six (6) new security bulletins, affecting supported versions of Windows, Virtual PC / Virtual Server, ISA 2006, and Microsoft Office Publisher 2007.
Advance Notification for the July 2009 Security Bulletin Release [1]
Our Advance Notification was published today and indicates that next Tuesday, July 14 at 10:00 a.m. PDT (UTC -8), we will be releasing a total of 6 security bulletins consisting of:
* Three Critical updates affecting Windows.
* One Important update affecting Publisher.
* One Important update affecting Internet Security and Acceleration (ISA) Server.
* One Important update affecting Virtual PC and Virtual Server.I want to provide some clarity on two of the pending Windows updates mentioned. First, we will be addressing the issue discussed in Security Advisory 971778 concerning a vulnerability in DirectShow. As noted in the advisory, we are aware of limited active attacks and we have been working aggressively to get a quality update shipped to customers.
Second, our engineering teams have been working around the clock to produce an update for the issue discussed in Security Advisory 972890 (vulnerability in the Microsoft Video ActiveX Control) and we believe that they will be able to release an update of appropriate quality for broad distribution that protects against the attacks we detailed in the advisory and in an MSRC blog post by Christopher Budd. In the mean time, we encourage customers to continue to enable the workaround by running the “Microsoft Fix it” solution in the associated knowledge base article (KB972890).
Good to see that an update for both DirectShow and the vulnerability in the Microsoft Video ActiveX Control should be released.
