Third on your list of priorities is MS13–083, a critical patch for Windows Common Control Library across all platforms except Windows Server 2012 R2 and Windows RT 8.1 and addresses one privately reported vulnerability that could allow for a remote code execution. There are no known active attacks.
Microsoft released eight patches this October Patch Tuesday - four critical and four important. The vulnerabilities in IE have been patched thankfully and the bulk of the October issues do not impact the current code base. Paul Henry, security and forensics analyst at Lumension, provides more on the updates.
