these bulletins on Wednesday, September 10, 2008,

Security Bulletin Webcast at

Microsoft also provides information to help customers prioritize
monthly security updates with any non-security, high-priority
updates that are being released on the same day as the monthly
security updates. Please see the section, Other Information.

This advance notification provides the software subject as the
bulletin identifier, because the official Microsoft Security
Bulletin numbers are not issued until release. The bulletin summary

Microsoft Security Bulletin numbers (in the MSyy-xxx format) as the
bulletin identifier. The security bulletins for this month are as
follows, in order of severity:
