Update Sept 10 8:10 a.m.
Microsoft has just released the patches for September. As previously indicated, there are a total of 4 patches. The most significant patch (https://technet.microsoft.com/library/security/ms14-052) is a cumulative security update for Internet explorer. It includes patches for one publicly disclosed vulnerability and thirty-six privately reported vulnerabilities. As these vulnerabilities could allow remote code execution if successfully exploited, they are classified as CRITICAL for workstation operating systems (the Internet Explorer patches are classified as MODERATE for server operating systems).
For that reason, it is recommended that all windows workstations be patched as soon as possible.
