(*): ISC rating
  • 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 Urgent: Typically we expect the impact if left unpatched to be not that big a deal in the short term. Do not forget them however.
  • The difference between the client and server rating is based on how you use the affected machine. We take into account the typical client and server deployment in the usage of the machine and the common measures people typically have in place already. Measures we presume are simple best 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 threat for affected systems. The rating does not account for the number of affected systems there are. It is for an affected system in a typical worst-case role.
  • Only the organization itself is in a position to do a full risk analysis involving the presence (or lack of) affected systems, the actually implemented measures, the impact on their operation and the value of the assets involved.
  • All patches released by a vendor are important enough to have a close look if you use the affected systems. There is little incentive for vendors to publicize patches that do not have some form of risk to them.

MS11-043 (SMB client) replaces MS10-020 and MS11-019, not MS11-020 (SMB server). By my reading, MS11-020 is still current as is still extremely critical.
@Conrad: MS10-020 indeed, fixed.
Misprint in KB number: Microsoft Security Bulletin MS11-048 Vulnerability in SMB Server Could Allow Denial of Service (2536275)
@daem0n647: KB 2536275 indeed, fixed.
For MS11-050 there existed a 0-day prior to the patch, see here: http://d0cs4vage.blogspot.com/2011/06/insecticides-dont-kill-bugs-patch.html
On the website, a public metasploit exploit is available.

"The ThreatCon is currently at Level 2: Elevated... On June 16, 2011, one of the issues fixed in Microsoft's June update, CVE-2011-1255, described in MS11-050 was found to be exploited in-the-wild. Customers are advised to install all applicable updates as soon as possible..."

MS11-050 - Critical - Cumulative Security Update for Internet Explorer (2530548)

.
Re: MS11-044 - why have you rated the server-side as critical? It seems that a user needs to browse to a specially crafted web page as a client to be compromised; the MS KB and other sources don't not seem present this as remote server exploit.
@Alessandro:

It's a nightmare scenario for e.g. shared webhosting, or where e.g. a webmaster isn't fully trusted by the system administration.

To quote Microsoft: "The vulnerability could also allow remote code execution on a server system running IIS, if that server allows processing ASP.NET pages and an attacker succeeds in uploading a specially crafted ASP.NET page to that server and then executes the page, as could be the case in a Web hosting scenario."
