The three patches cover the following areas:
MS04-008 addresses vulnerability in Microsoft Windows and has a maximum severity rating of 'moderate'.
MS04-009 addresses vulnerability in Microsoft Office XP and has a maximum severity rating of 'important'.
MS04-010 addresses vulnerability in Microsoft MSN Messenger and has a maximum severity rating of 'moderate'.
Microsoft said the MSN Messenger patch had been prompted by a security vulnerability uncovered late last week, adding that its Microsoft Security Response Center has already developed a patch to solve the problem - one of their quickest fix turnarounds to date.
