Microsoft said on Thursday that it will release five security fixes for this Tuesday’s patch release. A sixth patch will fix a known issue with Visual Studio that is spreading in the wild.

The company did not mention exactly how many flaws and vulnerabilities these updates will fix, but it did warn users that the recently disclosed security hole in Microsoft Word was not included. This exploit found by researchers at CERT is listed as severe to critical and was reported earlier this week. They are working to release an update for this but need more time to do so.

As always when Microsoft releases its Tech Bulletins there was no mention of exact details of the exploits, which are the cause of these security issues. Of the updates released Tuesday, the highest rating is Critical with the others being of lesser ratings.

The new version of the MSW-MSRT (Microsoft Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool) will also be included with the updates offered.

On top of the Security releases, Microsoft will release fourteen non-security related updates. Four of these are flagged as High-Priority and ten of these will be rated with various levels.
