April 14th is Patch Tuesday, and if you read the executive summary that Microsoft put out, it looks like almost every popular operating system that Microsoft puts out has something critical.
"Critical" is Microsoft's highest level. These are things can be exploited remotely, although they generally require a vulnerable service to be active and listening. We recommend only forwarding the ports that you actually need forwarded, and, if possible, to limit the range of IP's that can connect.
Vulnerable products include what looks like all the supported Windows operating systems, as well as Internet Explorer, DirectX, and Microsoft Office -- including Office for the Mac. ISA also shows up on the list, although it's "only" a denial of service attack that's being fixed.
