Virtual Administrator’s March 2014 Patch Recommendations
We have not uncovered any widespread problems with any of these patches and are releasing all of them.
MS14-012 and MS14-013 are rated Critical. After your next patch cycle completes you should follow up and make sure these are installed. The top priority this month is MS14-012. It affects all versions of Internet Explorer and was reported in February (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/security/advisory/2934088). MS14-015 is rated Important and patches the Windows Kernel Driver sub-system. There have been some isolated reports of MS14-015 (KB2930275) causing problems with Vista machines but these reports have not been corroborated. If you do have problems with Vista machines after patching this is most likely suspect.
