<p>Once again it's Microsoft's so-called Patch Tuesday. And today a total of 47 patches were releases via Windows Update. If you're running Outlook 2007 or 2010 one update in particular you'll want to verify you have is MS13-068:</p><p>This security update resolves a privately reported vulnerability in Microsoft Outlook. The vulnerability could allow remote code execution if a user opens or previews a specially crafted email message using an affected edition of Microsoft Outlook. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could gain the same user rights as the local user. Users whose accounts are configured to have fewer user rights on the system could be less impacted than users who operate with administrative user rights.</p><p>This security update is rated Critical for all supported editions of Microsoft Outlook 2007 and Microsoft Outlook 2010.What Does This Mean?</p><p>What this means is a bad guy could use Outlook 2007 or 2010 to gain control of your system remotely. What makes this particularly alarming is that it wouldn't require any action from the user, other than having an infected email message display in the preview Window in Outlook. It looks like this only affects users of Outlook 2007 or 2010.</p><p><a href="http://www.groovypost.com/news/outlook-critical-patch-fix-empty-folder-pane-outlook-2013/">Keep reading...</a></p><p>Read also:</p><p><a href="http://www.zdnet.com/update-for-outlook-2013-breaks-folder-pane-7000020512/">Update for Outlook 2013 breaks folder pane</a> (ZDNet)</p><p><a href="http://www.infoworld.com/t/microsoft-windows/microsoft-pulls-botched-kb-2871630-while-many-office-patch-problems-remain-226690">Microsoft pulls botched KB 2871630, while many Office patch problems remain</a> (InfoWorld)</p><p>Explore: <a href="http://news.google.com/news/more?ncl=dCr4jZfEDUfOJqMTBIfw6y_yTM23M&ned=us">45 additional articles.</a></p>
