Critical Fixes for Adobe, Microsoft Software
Summary: Adobe released updates fixing at least a dozen critical flaws in Flash Player and AIR, while Microsoft pushed four update bundles addressing at least 42 vulnerabilities in Windows, Internet Explorer, Lync and .NET Framework. Thirty-seven of Microsoft's fixes are in an Internet Explorer update, the only patch this month rated critical, and Adobe delayed its Reader and Acrobat updates to the week of Sept. 15.
What you should know: A single Internet Explorer update carrying 37 of the month's 42 Microsoft flaws means the browser most users treat as background infrastructure is where nearly all the risk sits. Adobe also pushed its Reader and Acrobat fixes back to mid-September, leaving those holes open in the meantime.
