With this Microsoft Patch Tuesday update, we have the largest release of security and application updates that the ChangeBASE team has dealt with. Nine of the updates rates as Critical and the remaining 6 updates rated as Important this is a very significant release by Microsoft standards. As we have seen in many other Microsoft Patch Tuesday releases, all of these patches will require a system restart for both workstation and server environments.
We have also included a brief snap-shot image of some of the sample results from the AOK Workbench with a single application and Patch Impact Assessment result for MS10-053, the IE browser security update;

Security Update Detailed Summary
| MS10-046 | Vulnerability in Windows Shell Could Allow Remote Code Execution (2286198) |
| Description | This security update resolves a publicly disclosed vulnerability in Windows Shell. The vulnerability could allow remote code execution if the icon of a specially crafted shortcut is displayed. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could gain the same user rights as the local user. Users whose accounts are configured to have fewer user rights on the system could be less impacted than users who operate with administrative user rights. |

| Impact | Critical - Remote Code Execution |
| MS10-049 | Vulnerabilities in SChannel Could Allow Remote Code Execution (980436) |
| Description | This security update resolves one publicly disclosed vulnerability and one privately reported vulnerability in the Secure Channel (SChannel) security package in Windows. The more severe of these vulnerabilities could allow remote code execution if a user visits a specially crafted Web site that is designed to exploit these vulnerabilities through an Internet Web browser. In all cases, however, an attacker would have no way to force users to visit these Web sites. Instead, an attacker would have to convince users to visit the Web site, typically by getting them to click a link in an e-mail message or in an Instant Messenger message that takes users to the attacker's Web site. |
