Microsoft’s Security Tech Center has released the Security Bulletin Advance Notification for July 2013 to give everyone out there with Microsoft software advance notice on what programs are having security vulnerabilities addressed.
The bulletin is short on details, which is the norm, to prevent anyone from taking advantage of the vulnerability before it is patched.
Each bulletin is listed by the software it impacts and how critical the update is which allows you to plan your schedule for this coming Tuesday to grab the updates early in the cycle if you need them. Otherwise, if you have Windows Update set to automatic, they will be downloaded and installed at some point.
There are a total of seven bulletins in this cycle of updates with six labeled Critical, one as Important and they address Remote Code Execution and Elevation of Privileges.
