Four additional updates are rated as important, including one that affects the .NET framework.
Microsoft said that the critical updates to be issued August 11 all involve remote code execution. All the updates, except for the one affecting the .NET Framework, will require system restarts.
The Office-related bulletin may require a restart if the binaries being updated are in use, according to Microsoft security program manager Jerry Bryant. He recommended referring to Knowledge Base article 887012 to reduce the chances of requiring a restart.
The majority of the updates impact most Windows client and server operating systems. The .NET bulletin affects Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003 Service Pack 1.
