Security bulletins will normally be released on the second calendar Tuesday of every month. However, the first monthly bulletins will be released on Wednesday, October 15, 2003.
As before, Microsoft will issue a single security bulletin per patch. An additional security bulletin summary document per product family will be issued that will provide summarized information for all the patches released that month for the product family. Finally, Microsoft will provide prescriptive guidance within the security bulletins including workarounds for all vulnerabilities where a workaround is feasible, risk-assessment for specific threats, and other information that will make it easier for customers to evaluate and deploy the patches. A Knowledge Base article for every patch will be created that will provide a link to the corresponding security bulletin without duplicating the same information.
