Exclamation Astaro VS recent Zero Day Exploits

Does Astaro IPS protect us from the recent Zero Day Exploits?

Microsoft Security Advisory (973472): Vulnerability in Microsoft Office Web Components Control Could Allow Remote Code Execution
Microsoft Security Advisory (972890): Vulnerability in Microsoft Video ActiveX Control Could Allow Remote Code Execution


I did see one IPS Updates yesterday or the day before but it did not state exactly what is added etc.

It would be good if Astaro have some security advisory on how their products have counter measures against these exploits.

Example:Assuming it is a webbased attack whereby browsing a website can get compromised.

1) HTTP Content Filter have the "bad domains" in it's database even if I know it is not complete, good to have.

2) HTTP AV of which version have detection for the exploit code on the website and or the known trojans that comes with it etc.

3) IPS added detection for such traffic.
