As a matter of fact, this is the highest bulletin from Microsoft this year, according to Chris Goettel, product manager for IT management firm Shavlik. Maybe one of the reasons why this Patch Tuesday is the biggest one this year is because there are some bulletins aimed at the Technical Preview of Windows 10, as well. The patches that Windows 10 will get cover remote code execution and elevation of privilege vulnerabilities in both the server and desktop versions. The critical updates address the following:
remote code execution flaws in Windows 10 and Windows 10 Server technical previews and all current versions of Windows, Windows RT and Windows Server remote code execution vulnerability in Internet Explorer versions 6 to 11 on all currently supported versions of Windows and Windows Server, including Windows 10, with the exception of Core Server Installation
The important updates address elevation of privilege in the following products
currently supported versions of Windows Server 2003 all current versions of Windows desktop and Windows Server, except Server 2003 and Core Installation all versions of Windows and Windows server, except Server 2008 for 32-bit and x64-based systems
The software updates apply to Microsoft Word 2007 Service Pack 3, Microsoft Word Viewer, and Microsoft Office Compatibility Pack Service Pack 3, as well as SharePoint Server 2010 Service Pack 2, all versions of Exchange Server from 2007 Service Pack 3 to 2013 Cumulative Update 6.
