Microsoft has released one critical security update for the Exchange messaging server, and two security updates for Windows. One of the fixes, which is rated as critical, could allow unauthorized software to be installed without user action.

The Exchange flaw could allow a remote user to send e-mail with malicious content in it that would take control of Exchange or even the entire server.

Other addressed flaws concerned the Microsoft Distributed Transaction Coordinator (MDTC).
