| What Is It?
As has become their custom, on Tuesday, June 14, 2005, the second Tuesday of the month,, the Microsoft security team published its monthly package of security bulletins. This month's list has something for just about everybody.
What Should I Do?
Depending on your Windows configuration, you should do one of the following things.
If you have Automatic Update configured to download and install critical updates automatically, you should have seen a notification in your task bar soon after this past Tuesday that updates have been installed and that your computer needs to be restarted.
If you have Automatic Update configured to download critical updates and notify you when they are ready to install, you should have seen a notification in your task bar soon after this past Tuesday that updates are ready to install. You should allow all of them to be installed, then restart your computer when the installation is completed.
If Automatic Update is disabled or not installed on your computer, you should visit the Windows Update Web site at http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/ and install all the critical updates that it identifies for your machine. If you are still using Windows NT (Workstation or Server edition), Windows 98, or Windows 95, this is your only option.
We recommend that you configure your machines as described in item 1 or item 2 above if that option is available to you, which it is for Windows XP, Windows 2000, and Windows Server 2003. If you are running an older version of Windows, we encourage you to consider upgrading to a newer version for all machines that are ever connected, directly or indirectly, to the Internet. Meanwhile, you can still get the updates from the Windows Update Web site mentioned in item 3 above.
Details
The following table summarizes the critical bulletins that were released this past Tuesday.

In addition, bulletins covering less severe risks were issued. The following software is affected by those bulletins.
The Web Client that implements the WEBDAV protocol is vulnerable in older versions of Windows XP and Windows 2000. If you have been keeping up with patches, you are already covered for this one. See bulletin MS05-027 for details.
Outlook Web Access for Exchange Server 5.5 is discussed in bulletin MS05-029. This bulletin is of interest only to administrators of Microsoft Exchange mail servers.
There is a cumulative update for Outlook Express that you need unless you are on Windows XP Service Pack 2, Windows 2000 Service Pack 4, or an older version of Microsoft Windows. Unfortunately, since this update is not classified as critical, there is no update for Outlook Express running on versions of Windows prior to Windows 2000.
Microsoft Interactive Training is an application that may be installed on your machine. If so, and you are running Windows 2000 or later, the update will be offered as part of the Windows Update service, and will be marked as "critical." Security Bulletin MS05-031 covers this item.
Microsoft Agent, Telnet Client, and Microsoft ISA Server (of interest only to network administrators) are discussed in bulletins MS05-032, MS05-033, and MS05-034, respectively.
