Four Patches Proffered
    As expected, Microsoft 
sent 
  out four patches yesterday, all to fix eight holes that could allow for 
  remote execution attacks. While there are only four patches, all are deemed 
  critical.
A hole in Windows Media Player that could let someone use a media file to take 
  over your machine got plugged. The Windows graphics engine, GDI+, also got a 
  hole filled that affects everything from SQL Server to Office. This hole is 
  one analysts expect to be heavily attacked, so patching is of the essence.
The last two remedies are aimed at Windows Media Encoder 9 and a remote execution 
  flaw in Office.
