Security Update For November 2008 From Microsoft

Microsoft released its monthly security update packet today. This month update contains 2 updates. One of those is critical and the other one important.

Critical update fixes several vulnerabilities in Microsoft XML Core Services. The most severe vulnerability could allow remote code execution if a user viewed a specially crafted Web page using Internet Explorer. Users whose accounts are configured to have fewer user rights on the system could be less impacted than users who operate with administrative user rights.

The important update fixes vulnerability in Microsoft Server Message Block (SMB). The vulnerability could allow remote code execution on affected systems. Users whose accounts are configured to have fewer user rights on the system could be less impacted than users who operate with administrative user rights.

New version of Microsoft Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool is released too.
