Microsoft November 2014 Patch Tuesday
Important: Please note that Microsoft released EMET 5.1 yesterday to address conflicts between EMET 5.0 / IE 11 and the patches released here (likely MS14-065)
We are aware that bulletin numbers are skipped below. Not sure if they will come later. It is possible that I used a version of the bulletin page that wasn't quite ready yet. I will update this page as needed.

We appreciate updates
US based customers can call Microsoft for free patch related support on 1-866-PCSAFETY
- We use 4 levels:
- PATCH NOW: Typically used where we see immediate danger of exploitation. Typical environments will want to deploy these patches ASAP. Workarounds are typically not accepted by users or are not possible. This rating is often used when typical deployments make it vulnerable and exploits are being used or easy to obtain or make.
- Critical: Anything that needs little to become "interesting" for the dark side. Best approach is to test and deploy ASAP. Workarounds can give more time to test.
- Important: Things where more testing and other measures can help.
- Less Urt practices for servers such as not using outlook, MSIE, word etc. to do traditional office or leisure work.
- The rating is not a risk analysis as such. It is a rating of importance of the vulnerability and the perceived or even predicted threatatches.
Important EMET 5.1 Update. Apply before Patches today
Microsoft yesterday release EMET 5.1 . One particular sentence in Microsoft's blog post suggests that you should apply this update (if you are using EMET) BEFORE you apply the Interent Explorer patch Microsoft is going to release in a couple of hours:
"If you are using Internet Explorer 11, either on Windows 7 or Windows 8.1, and have deployed EMET 5.0, it is particularly important to install EMET 5.1 as compatibility issues were discovered with the November Internet Explorer security update and the EAF+ mitigation."
For full details, and features added in EMET 5.1, see Microsoft's blog post [1]
