  Microsoft Patch Tuesday for December 2008: eight bulletins
Time: 10:12 EST/15:12 GMT | News Source: Ars Technica | Posted By: Kenneth van Surksum

Microsoft will issue eight Security Bulletins on Tuesday, and it will host a webcast to address customer questions on these bulletins the following day (December 10 at 11:00 AM PST, if you're interested). Six of the vulnerabilities are rated "Critical," and two are marked as "Important." Seven of these earned their rating through a remote code execution impact, meaning a hacker could potentially gain control of an infected machine. At least four of the eight updates will require a restart.

The list of affected operating configurations includes Windows 2000, Windows XP (x86 and x64), Windows Server 2003 (x86 and x64), Windows Vista (x86 and x64), and Windows Server 2008 (x86 and x64). Office 2000, 2002, 2003, 2007 as well as Office 2004 and 2008 for Mac are affected. Internet Explorer 5 and above, as well as Windows Media Player 6.4 and above, need patching as well.
