According to the company’s advance notice, four of the 16 bulletins will be rated “critical,” Microsoft’s highest severity rating . Microsoft rates a critical vulnerability as one that could be exploited to propagate an Internet worm without user action . The 49 vulnerabilities will mark the largest ever batch of patches issued by Microsoft . The previous record was 34 vulnerabilities patched in August this year . The October patch batch will include fixes for security flaws in the Windows operating system, the Internet Explorer browser, Microsoft Office and the . NET Framework . It is very likely that Microsoft will include patches for a pair of elevation of privilege vulnerabilities that were exploited during the mysterious Stuxnet worm attack .
