(*): ISC rating

We use 4 levels:
- PATCH NOW: Typically used where we see immediate danger of exploitation. Typical environments will want to deploy these patches ASAP. Workarounds are typically not accepted by users or are not possible. This rating is often used when typical deployments make it vulnerable and exploits are being used or easy to obtain or make.
- Critical: Anything that needs little to become "interesting" for the dark side. Best approach is to test and deploy ASAP. Workarounds can give more time to test.
- Important: Things where more testing and other measures can help.
- Less Urt practices for servers such as not using outlook, MSIE, word etc. to do traditional office or leisure work.
- The rating is not a risk analysis as such. It is a rating of importance of the vulnerability and the perceived or even predicted threatatches.

Please note that you have doubled up on the list of CVEs contained in bulletin MS14-052. While 37 CVEs patched by a single bulletin is a big number (it is equal to the number of CVEs patched by all of the bulletins in the biggest months so far this year) it is not 74 - you have them each listed twice. Sticky ^V?

Good catch, thank you! I've removed the duplicates.
