On Tuesday, February 9, 2011, Microsoft is planning to release twelve (12) security bulletins addressing 22 issues in Microsoft Windows, Internet Explorer, Office, Visual Studio, and IIS.  Three bulletins are rated Critical, the remaining nine are rated Important.  

The scheduled updates will be addressing Security Advisory 2490606 (public vulnerability affecting Windows Graphics Rendering Engine) and Security Advisory 2488013 (public vulnerability affecting Internet Explorer).
