As part of our regularly scheduled bulletin release, we’re currently planning to release two security bulletins, one Microsoft Security Bulletin affecting Microsoft Windows/Microsoft Office rated as Critical, and one affecting Windows rated as Important,” revealed Bill Sisk.

Microsoft plans to patch a single critical vulnerability impacting Windows Vista Service Pack 1 and Windows XP Service Pack 3 next week. The update will be released as an integral part of the company's monthly patch cycle scheduled for release on November 11, 2008. It will be an easy month for Microsoft, as the company will plug just one additional security vulnerability, compared to October, when the Redmond giant issued no less than 11 patches.
