Microsoft Patch Notifications for January 2012

Microsoft released 7 patches today designed to address 20 vulnerabilities, including the one exploited by the Duqu worm. There are two patches that have been given a "PATCH NOW" rating by SANS:  one of them, MS12-004 or KB2636391, addresses a currently exploited issue in Windows Media Player . Windows, Office and Internet Explorer are all affected and many of the updates will require you to restart your computer.

Members of the KUMC community will have these patches deployed automatically to your on-campus computers, so no further action is needed. However, you should ensure that your personal computer is  updated as soon as possible.
