MS releasing out-of-band patch tonight

Just a heads-up for anyone that's involved in patching - MS are releasing an out-of-band patch tonight at approx 18:00. Fixes a critical vuln in all supported versions of Windows. No real details available yet, but must be pretty serious if they're not prepared to wait until Patch Tuesday.

It must a be a serious Remote Code Execution exploit for them to rush it out...

Cheers for the heads up.

Ah well, couple of hours of overtime for me perhaps?
