Adobe, Microsoft, Word Press Issue Security Fixes
Summary: Adobe, Microsoft and WordPress all issued security updates on the same day, with Microsoft's bundle covering at least 22 flaws in Windows and other software, five rated critical, and Adobe's Acrobat and Reader update fixing at least 29 problems. Microsoft also reissued an update intended to disable autorun on removable drives, but F-Secure noted it was not offered by default as Microsoft had indicated, and Tipping Point released advisories on 21 unpatched vulnerabilities in CA, EMC, HP, Novell and SCO products.
What's compelling: Six of the Windows flaws had already been public, and Symantec was aware of one being actively exploited in Internet Explorer's handling of cascading style sheets, so the patch window was already open before the fixes shipped. The autorun update that was supposed to close a long-standing malware vector did not install by default, leaving that path open on machines whose owners assumed otherwise.
