The ever-so-popular "Black Tuesday" is approaching (Feb 12th), and this month's is going to be a biggie. According to the Microsoft Security Bulletin Advance Notification for February 2008 there are 7 Critical patches (all denoted as addressing "Remote Code Execution" vulns) and 5 Important patches (ranging from DoS to Privilege Escalation and so on). Additionally, according to the MS Security Response Blog there will be 7+2 = 9 updates to Microsoft Update, Windows Update, and Windows Server Update Services (WSUS). Oh, and the monthly malware tool update.
In related news, MS has a new "Security Vulnerability Research & Defense blog" that seems to be pretty cool, if you're into geeky, techie MS vuln/security info.
Get your update servers dialed-in and ready to rumble. I've noticed notes on various 0-days surfacing in the last week or two (if you read my Google feed then you've seen those, too). Yee-har!
