We found that this months patches were relatively light. The updates MS08-055 and MS08-053 relate to Windows Media player which has a minimal impact on the Operating system and few applications have a direct dependency on Windows Media player. More importantly, MS08-052 includes an update to a core element of the operating system (GDIPLUS.DLL). This file is part of the graphics library for Window XP. Several applications we ran through AOK can load a version of this file from their source media/download process when they are installed and so there is a danger that if this happens the installation will result in an out of date version of this file being loaded and overwriting the version in the patch update this month.
