One Windows Server and two Office vulnerabilities on the menu for May Patch Tuesday

Microsoft announced on Thursday its bulletins for May 2011′s Patch Tuesday.

The software giant is planning to release just two bulletins, one rated Critical for Windows, and one rated critical for Office. The company says it will fix just three vulnerabilities across its most popular products. Microsoft’s critical Windows vulnerability only affects Windows Server 2003, 2008 and 2008 R2 and does not impact client versions of Windows. The company also plans to fix two important vulnerabilities across PowerPoint 2002, 2003 and 2007 and the company’s Office 2004 and 2008 for Mac suites.

May’s bulletin is a quiet one compared to April’s. Microsoft issued a massive 17 bulletins to fix 64 vulnerabilities across Windows, Office, Internet Explorer, Visual Studio, .NET Framework and GDI+.

Microsoft’s Patch Tuesday will commence on May 10 at 10AM PST.
