All but one of the bugs were remote code execution (RCE) flaws - the exception was an escalation of privilege vulnerability bug caused by a Windows Error Reporting Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability, the post said.  

Eight of the RCE flaws dealt with Jet Database Engine Remote Code Execution vulnerabilities while one was a Microsoft Office Access Connectivity Engine RCE Vulnerability.
