In total, the company has patched a dozen vulnerabilities rated critical in Windows and its web browsers.
Trend Micro's Zero Day Initiative has looked at Microsoft's advisories and highlighted one vulnerability in Exchange that can be exploited for code execution by sending a specially crafted email to the target.
