Microsoft's first security bulletin of the year was so critical that Redmond released it early. The first security bulletin of 2006 is so critical thatMicrosoft released it on January 5—a week before the usual patch cycle. Microsoft Security Bulletin MS06-001, "Vulnerability in Graphics Rendering Engine Could Allow Remote Code Execution," addresses a vulnerability that's so serious it even made the front page of some business newspapers, including the Financial Times.
