How to update and install Surface drivers and firmware | Microsoft
The three critical updates close remote execution vulnerabilities in Internet Explorer versions 7 to 11. According to Microsoft, patches for Internet Explorer are released on an ongoing basis and because hackers proactively exploit vulnerabilities, critical updates for Internet Explorer will be released more frequently in the future.
There are two updates for Windows: the one rated important fixes an information disclosure and the one rated critical prevents remote execution. Microsoft Office is getting three updates to fix vulnerabilities that could allow remote execution.
There is no firmware update for the Surface tablet family in December 2014. No firmware for Surface Pro 3, 2 or 1, not even for Surface with Windows RT.
