Next week’s January’s security bulletins will contain two bulletins addressing three vulnerabilities in Windows.

As usual, the bulletin release is scheduled for the second Tuesday of the month, January 11th, at 10:00 a.m.

The first bulletin affects Windows Vista and is rated Important. The second bulletin affects all supported versions of Windows and is rated Critical.

It’s important to note that this month we will not see updates to address Security Advisory 2490606 (public vulnerability affecting Windows Graphics Rendering Engine) and Security Advisory 2488013 (public vulnerability affecting Internet Explorer).

Microsoft will also release an updated version of the Microsoft Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool on Windows Update, Microsoft Update, Windows Server Update Services, and the Download Center.

There will be a webcast to address questions on the security bulletins on January 12, 2011, at 11:00 AM Pacific Time (US & Canada).
