For December Microsoft is planning to release six new security bulletins addressing 12 vulnerabilities in Windows, Internet Explorer (IE) and Microsoft Office products.

Three of the bulletins have a maximum severity rating of Critical and three have a maximum severity rating of Important. The bulletins touch touch all supported versions of Windows and IE, Microsoft said. On the Office side, the bulletins impact Project, Word and Works 8.5.
