"Microsoft today issued a record-breaking number of security updates,
fixing at least 26 separate security holes in its Windows operating
system and other products, including 16 vulnerabilities in Microsoft
Office and Office components.
By my count, this is the largest number of flaws Microsoft has
fixed in one go outside of a Service Pack. Among the problems addressed
in the ten patch bundles released as part of its monthly patch cycle
are four flaws in Office, as well as four security holes each in
different versions of Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint (one of the
Word flaws is only present in the version made for Apple Macintosh
systems)."
Also worth noting was a Cross Site Scripting vulnerability discovered in .NET 2.0.
