Adobe, Microsoft Push Critical Security Fixes
Summary: Microsoft issued 13 patch bundles fixing roughly four dozen vulnerabilities in Windows and associated software, with three rated critical and plugging at least 30 flaws, most in a cumulative Internet Explorer update. Adobe separately fixed at least 18 security holes in Flash Player and AIR, with patched Flash at v. 17.0.0.188 for Windows, OS X and Linux, and said it was not aware of any active exploits against the vulnerabilities it patched.
What you should know: Shavlik flagged MS15-044 for special priority because it touches many Microsoft programs and can be exploited merely by viewing crafted content in a web page or document - a single opened file is enough.
