Yes, it's almost time for Microsoft's holiday edition of Patch Tuesday, December 8th. This is one set of gifts you shouldn't wait to open and install.

And, the important news is that three of them have the maximum severity rating of Critical.

As for the rest of your December patch presents, Microsoft will be fixing both a Windows and Office problem that could be used to take your PC over with a remote code execution attack. You will need to re-boot your system after applying these patches.
