December 11, 2007
Microsoft released the December Security Update on December 11, 2007. Seven bulletins were released that address eleven individual vulnerabilities. Microsoft rated three bulletins, which address Microsoft Windows DirectX, Microsoft Windows Media Format Runtime, and Internet Explorer, as Critical. These vulnerabilities could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code, but an exploit requires some form of user interaction. Additionally, Microsoft released four Important bulletins to correct vulnerabilities in Microsoft Windows that may allow attackers to cause a denial of service or gain elevated privileges.
