Zero-Day Fixes From Adobe, Microsoft
Summary: Adobe and Microsoft released security updates on the same day to fix zero-day bugs and other critical flaws, with Adobe patching Flash and Shockwave and Microsoft shipping 11 update bundles covering at least two dozen flaws in Windows and other software. Five of Microsoft's bundles earned its critical rating, and the company flagged MS13-096, MS13-097 and MS13-099 as likely to be exploited soon, while Rapid7's Ross Barrett noted MS13-104 fixes an Office 2013 information disclosure issue that could let an attacker hijack an authentication token and reach documents stored in cloud resources.
What's compelling: One of the patched flaws is already under active attack through a malicious Flash file embedded in a Word document, and another lets an attacker take an authentication token and walk into cloud-stored documents - so the gap between patch release and deployment is the window an attacker gets.
