Michael S. Mimoso, Editorial DirectorMicrosoft said its server-side update affects SQL Server 2000, 2005 and 2008; the Microsoft BizTalk Server; and Microsoft Commerce Server 2002, 2007 and 2009. Developer software, specifically Microsoft Visual FoxPro 8 and 9 and visible Basic 6 runtime, could also be affected. The updates may require a restart, Microsoft said, as will the updates affecting Windows and Internet Explorer.
The Internet Explorer updates affecting IE versions 6 through 9 would be the highest priority, in step with Wolfgang Kandek, CTO of Redwood Shores, Calif.-based vulnerability management vendor Qualys Inc. Writing at the Qualys blog, Kandek said the server-side software update could pose a challenge to patching administrators.
The bulletins would be released April 10, 2012, at approximately 1:00 p.m. ET.
In addition to Microsoft, Adobe Systems Inc. indicated that it's going to release updates April 10 affecting Adobe Reader and Adobe Acrobat. In its Adobe April 2012 Prenotification Security Advisory, the San Jose, Calif.-based software maker said its update also affects users of Adobe Reader X.
Adobe advised Windows users of Adobe Reader and Acrobat 9.5 and earlier that the updates have a Priority Rating of one, meaning that the update resolves vulnerabilities being targeted by attackers or at a stronger risk of being targeted by exploits inside the wild.
