There is an inconsistency in the Security Bulletin Advance Notification for June 2011.

Under Executive Summaries Bulletin 3 mentions "Microsoft Forefront Threat Management Gateway", which would suggest the "Server".

Under "Affected Software" Bulletin 3 metions "Microsoft Forefront Threat Management Gateway 2010 Client". The "Client" is also mentioned in the Advance Notification e-mail.

Can you please clarify if the affected software is the TMG Server or the "TMG Firewall Client"?
