Although not specifically for WHS they are for Windows Server 2003 the underlying operating system that WHS is based on and are both High-priority updates on Windows Update for the Server machine.

If you have Windows Update turned off or you are not sure you can install the updates or check via the Console under Settings, General under Windows Update in the right panel. A restart of the server will be required afterwards.
