Patch Tuesday Advance Notice: Microsoft Plans Critical Patches for IE, Exchange

Gregg Keizer writes on ComputerWorld:

Microsoft Corp. today said it will deliver four security updates on Tuesday, two of them pegged "critical," and will finally issue a patch for SQL Server that it's been working on since last April.

The four updates detailed in the advance notice published today will quash bugs in Internet Explorer 7 (IE7); its Exchange mail server software; the Visio application that's part of the Office line-up; and SQL Server. The IE and Exchange vulnerabilities will be labeled critical, the company's highest threat ranking, while the SQL Server and Visio bugs will be marked as "important," one step lower.

Microsoft will release the updates on Feb. 10.
