Microsoft Corp. on Thursday announced plans to release eight security bulletins on April 12, including "critical" fixes for flaws in several widely deployed applications.
As part of its advance notice mechanism, the software giant said five high-priority patches would deal only with flaws in the Windows operating system.

Three more bulletins with a maximum severity rating of "critical" will include fixes for the Microsoft Office suite, the MSN Messenger chat program, and Microsoft Exchange, which is widely used in large corporations using Microsoft infrastructure solutions.

Redmond notified enterprise administrators that some of the Windows, Office and Exchange updates will require a restart and will be detectable using the MBSA (Microsoft Baseline Security Analyzer).

The Microsoft Office and Exchange patches can also be detected with the MSBA.
