Critical Updates for Windows, Flash, Java

Summary: Adobe released a Flash Player update fixing at least 22 flaws, including a zero-day (CVE-2015-3043) already being exploited, while Microsoft issued 11 update bundles covering more than two dozen bugs in Windows and associated software and Oracle patched at least 15 remotely exploitable Java flaws. Four of Microsoft's 11 bulletins are rated critical, and Oracle ended support for Java 7 after this update.

What's compelling: One of the 22 Flash flaws is already being exploited in the wild, and all 15 Java holes can be triggered remotely without any authentication - so the gap between patch release and deployment is the window attackers are counting on.
