Microsoft to hit users with 11 fixes on Patch Tuesday

Together with a not so serious flaw in the .NET framework, Microsoft will issue 11 patches in all, including six for Windows and four for the Office suite, including flaws in PowerPoint and Word 2000.
The 11 new patches come on top of an out of cycle fix forced upon Microsoft after it suffered a zero-day exploit of Internet Explorer's VML (vector markup language). The exploit could cause users to lose control of their computers simply by visiting a malicious website or opening an HTML email and was considered so serious that Microsoft was forced to break its monthly fix cycle.
Another vulnerability acknowledged by Microsoft, which is currently being exploited, is in the Microsoft WebViewFolderIcon ActiveX control used by the Windows Shell graphical user interface.
It is not known whether any of the flaws also affect Windows Vista, as has been the case previously.
