Three Updates Due From Microsoft on January 11

Microsoft will release three security patches on January 11. The company said that at least one is rated as critical, and some will require a system restart. As usual, no further information will be made available until the patches are released.

There's also a new footnote at the company's Security Bulletin Advance Notice site, which I suspect is due to the issue in December where a critical update was released for Windows Firewall, yet was not included in the company's monthly security bulletins which were issued a day after the critical update for Windows Firewall.

The footnote reads, "Security Bulletin Advance Notification may not be provided for bulletins released outside of the scheduled monthly release cycle."
