New critical holes in Windows detailed


re: http://searchsecurity.techtarget.com/originalContent/0,289142,sid14_gci920573,00.html

"... Microsoft announced three new critical vulnerabilities Wednesday that merit the immediate attention of IT administrators.  Microsoft rolled fixes for two new vulnerabilities in Internet Explorer into a cumulative patch for the ubiquitous Web browser. Also, critical flaws were announced in Windows components DirectX and MDAC. In each instance, an attacker would be able to run code of their choice on a vulnerable Windows system."

Cheers,
Gary
