Palo Alto Networks Unit 42 Vulnerability Research December 2016 Disclosures
Summary: Palo Alto Networks Unit 42 researchers disclosed six vulnerabilities fixed by Apple, Adobe and Microsoft, including two in Apple WebKit affecting iCloud for Windows, Safari, iTunes for Windows, tvOS and iOS, three code execution flaws in Adobe Flash (APSB16-39), and one memory corruption vulnerability in Microsoft Office for the Mac (MS16-148). Palo Alto Networks released IPS signatures for Threat Prevention subscribers to protect against these vulnerabilities.
Why it matters: Six flaws across Apple, Adobe and Microsoft products were patched in a single disclosure cycle, and the protections Palo Alto shipped cover only customers holding a Threat Prevention subscription - everyone else is relying on the vendors' fixes alone.
