Microsoft last week said it will ship three security updates next week to patch 11 vulnerabilities, including the first in Office 2010 pegged "critical."

The just-released Office for Mac 2011 will also be patched for the first time on Tuesday.

Just one of the three updates was marked critical, the highest threat ranking in Microsoft's four-step system. The remaining updates were rated "important," the second-highest threat label.

Two of the trio will apply to Office, while the third will affect Forefront Unified Access Gateway 2010 , the company's VPN (virtual private networking) platform that lets enterprise workers connect with corporate applications when outside the office.
