Traditionally we brace for impact on the Wednesday after the second Tuesday of the month. So far today has been rather uneventful. Big part is probably that the important update is actually fixing things that have been exploited already and therefore are already over their peak.

So in summary: Make sure you grab the MS05-054 update. It has fixes for things that have been exploited since last month.

• First diary entry
  
• Going yellow entry
• Going back to green entry
• Microsoft advisory (updated)

It also fixes 3 more vulnerabilities, but the one actively exploited vulnerability makes this patch mandatory.
