Patch Tuesday's missing patch

Last week Microsoft released 10 patches despite the advance notification saying there would be 11. Quality control issues are rumored to be at the forefront of Microsoft's decision to not deploy all eleven although they are remaining suspiciously quiet about it all.

I won't go into detail about all the patch contents here as it's all listed at http://www.microsoft.com/security

Right now the following security advisory is still outstanding:

vulnerability in DirectX animation library

rumors are around that this will be released as an out of band patch although I can't see it myself as no Proof of Concept (PoC) code exists.

Microsoft's security blog has mentioned that a PoC code exists for targeting a vulnerability in PowerPoint whether this is the recently patched security hole or a new one has not be clarified.
