Microsoft has issued six security bulletins for November, addressing 15 vulnerabilities, three of which Microsoft has rated as critical.
Symantec Security Response senior research manager Ben Greenbaum says the Embedded OpenType font kernel vulnerability is the most serious because not only is proof-of-concept exploit code publicly available but all a user needs to do to become infected is simply view a compromised web page.
The company says it isnt seeing any active exploits of this in the wild yet but expects attackers will be paying a lot of attention to it in the future.
