A very small number of patches this month, none of which are critical for servers (assuming you don't read email, process office documents or surf the web on a server) and which may not even require a reboot on most client PCs. I've ordered these roughly in order of importance.
MS07-004 Vulnerability in Vector Markup Language Could Allow Remote Code Execution (929969)
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/Bulletin/MS07-004.mspx
This addresses an active exploit in IE and should be applied as soon as possible.
Client impact: high
Server impact: low
MS07-003 Vulnerabilities in Microsoft Outlook Could Allow Remote Code Execution (925938)
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/Bulletin/MS07-003.mspx
A series of potentially serious flaws that could lead to an exploit if the user opens a specially crafted email message. Outlook 2000 is vulnerable to this, but cannot be patched via WSUS so this would need to be applied manually where possible. Replaces MS06-055.
Client impact: high
Server impact: low
MS07-002 Vulnerabilities in Microsoft Excel Could Allow Remote Code Execution (927198)
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/Bulletin/MS07-002.mspx
Similar to MS07-003, and Excel 2000 is similarly impacted with no WSUS remediation.
Client impact: high
Server impact: low
MS07-001 Vulnerability in Microsoft Office 2003 Brazilian Portuguese Grammar Checker Could Allow Remote Code Execution (921585)
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/Bulletin/MS07-001.mspx
This only impacts Office 2003 with the Brazilian Portuguese language pack. It should be a big problem for most users.
Client impact: low
Server impact: low
