After last month's large Patch Tuesday, Microsoft is today releasing only three new patches and is updating two patches from last month. The summary bulletin lists the three new bulletins, but customers should be aware that MS06-042 has changed for the second time, and MS06-040 has changed as well.
The re-release of MS06-042 comes as a result of eEye Digital Security finding yet another security vulnerability in the original MS06-042 patch. For those of you keeping score, it is now MS06-042: 0 and eEye Research: 2. 
MS06-040 was re-released to address a memory issue affecting Windows 2003 SP1 or Windows XP x64 systems, which is discussed in the Microsoft Knowledge Base article 924054.
This Month's Bulletins
Critical:
MS06-054 - Vulnerability in Microsoft Publisher Could Allow Remote Code Execution
Important:
MS06-052 - Vulnerability in Pragmatic General Multicast (PGM) Could Allow Remote Code Execution
Moderate:
MS06-053 - Vulnerability in Indexing Service Could Allow Cross-Site Scripting
If you haven't already done so please visit the Windows/Microsoft Update website, or turn on Automatic Updates in your Windows Control Panel, and install these patches and the two re-re-released patches.
