Blog: January 2013 Microsoft Security Bulletins - Start the New Year with XML Core Services, Print Spooler Updates and More
Microsoft starts the new year with a January Security Bulletin Release of seven Security Bulletins. These seven bulletins cover at least 11 CVE. Three of the vulnerabilities need to be addressed immediately with two of the Bulletins. These three vulnerabilities effect XML Core Service components (MS13-001) that can be abused using Internet Explorer as a vector of attack, and a Print Spooler component (MS13-002) that could be abused once an attacker has infiltrated a network. It's doubtful that we would see a fast-spreading worm resulting from this one, but as with Ramnit, it's important for small and medium businessese to understand what ports and services are exposed to the internet and avoid becoming a victim. Either way, these two Bulletins should be addressed immediately.
