Out of the 13 advisories this month, administrators are advised to patch MS10-006, MS10-009, MS10-013, MS10-015, and MS09-012 immediately. Machines with Microsoft Office installed should also be patched for MS10-003 and MS10-004 as soon as possible. The remainder of the patches should be applied after environment testing, or to environments that have the specifically affected software deployed.

As always, eEye suggests that users roll out Microsoft patches as fast as possible, preferably after testing the impact on internal applications and network continuity.

This security update resolves seven privately reported vulnerabilities and one publicly disclosed vulnerability in Internet Explorer. The more severe vulnerabilities could allow remote code execution if a user views a specially crafted Web page using Internet Explorer… The security update addresses these vulnerabilities by modifying the way that Internet Explorer handles objects in memory, validates input parameters, and filters HTML attributes.

EEye recommends immediate installation of the patch.

Looks like 13 bulletins, 8 of them critical, and something for everyone…   Microsoft Security Bulletin Advance Notification for October 2009.

Microsoft is investigating new public reports of a vulnerability in the FTP Service in Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) 5.0, Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) 5.1, and Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) 6.0. The vulnerability could allow remote code execution on affected systems that are running the FTP service and are connected to the Internet.

One mitigating factor: “Affected systems are not vulnerable unless untrusted FTP users are granted write access. By default, FTP users are not granted write access.”
