Adobe, Windows Security Patches
Summary: Microsoft released five updates fixing at least 15 security vulnerabilities in Excel, Office, Windows Server and SharePoint, none rated critical. Adobe issued its quarterly update to fix 13 security flaws in Reader and Acrobat, including critical vulnerabilities that attackers could exploit by convincing users to open a booby-trapped file.
Bottom line: Adobe's flaws are the kind an attacker triggers with nothing more than a user opening a malicious PDF, and support for Reader 8.x and Acrobat 8.x ends November 3, 2011, leaving anyone still on those versions without a patch path.
