Application Compatibility Update with Quest®Workspace™ ChangeBASE
Executive Summary
With this considerable February Microsoft Patch Tuesday update, we see a set of 12 updates; 5 of which are marked as “Critical” and 7 rated as “Important”.
The Patch Tuesday Security Update analysis was performed by the Quest ChangeBASE Patch Impact team and identified a small percentage of applications from the thousands of applications included in testing for this release which showed amber issues.
Of the twelve patches, 7 "require a restart to load correctly", 5 "may require a restart", so, as usual, it is probably best to assume all require a restart to be installed correctly.

Security Update Detailed Summary
MS13-009 |
Cumulative Security Update for Internet Explorer (2792100) |
Description |
This security update resolves thirteen privately reported vulnerabilities in Internet Explorer. The most severe vulnerabilities could allow remote code execution if a user views a specially crafted webpage using Internet Explorer. An attacker who successfully exploited these vulnerabilities could gain the same user rights as the current 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. |
