(July 10 & 11, 2012)

Among the security issues addressed in Microsoft's patch Tuesday for
July is the XML Core Services zero-day flaw that is being actively
exploited in attacks. The batch of fixes also includes a cumulative
update for Internet Explorer (IE) and a patch for a remote execution
vulnerability in Microsoft Data Access Components.

[Editor's Note (Pescatore): This month's Microsoft Vulnerability Tuesday should
get priority treatment.]"

This is quoted verbatim from Sans Newsbites Vol. 14 Number 56. Sans Newsbites is an e-newsletter from SANS, an internationally famous institution and security pro training institution. They prepare people for CISSP and security related certifications testing.

The header of the newsletter says that John Pescatore's advise is trustable, and they stuck the info about the Microsoft update in Top of The News on John Pescatore's recommendation. If you want to get the SANS Newsbites e-newletter(s) go here: http://portal.sans.org/
