kb 953155 appears today on all my Vista machines. No idea why, but it is
critical, and involves remote code execution, so I'm installing it asap.

There's a second update as well, rated as "important."

This is via WindowsUpdate on Vista.

No equivalents for XP or Server 2003.

Yes, I had the same, on Vista. Do you think it is the after effects
(secondary shock wave) of last weeks vulnerability?
 
I haven't seen any discussion of it at all--and looking at it last night, it
does not seem to be labelled critical--so I need to figure out where I saw
that.

I haven't had time to investigate it further--this stuff doesn't just pop
up--it has been weeks to months in production and testing--but why this
particular release timing I've no idea at all.
