April's Patch Tuesday (APT) coming your way

This month, Microsoft is releasing 17 bulletins to address 63 security vulnerabilities across a wide range of Windows products. Out of these vulnerabilities, 12 are rated critical and 51 important.

About half of these vulnerabilities are being patched with the MS11-034 bulletin. They all involve Elevation of Privilege vulnerabilities in the Windows kernel.

Elevation of privilege vulnerabilities have gained a lot in popularity as Windows 7 and the use of sandboxes have been gaining traction. These vulnerabilities could be used for instance to circumvent UAC and immediately give a program full admin privileges without warning.

With Microsoft's newer products there's been somewhat of a trend where the number of EoP vulnerabilities outweigh the number of Remote Code Execution vulnerabilities. This trend is likely to persist over the coming months.

Microsoft will also be releasing two advisories this month. One for Windows and one for Office.
