Adobe, Microsoft Patch Critical Cracks

Summary: On Nov. 14, Microsoft released 11 patch bundles fixing more than four-dozen security holes across Windows versions and Office products, including at least four flaws disclosed publicly before the patch date. Adobe issued fixes for at least 62 vulnerabilities across its products, including critical bugs in Flash Player and Reader/Acrobat, bringing Flash Player to v. 27.0.0.187 on Windows, Mac, Linux and Chrome OS.

Why it matters: Four of Microsoft's fixed vulnerabilities had public exploits, and Adobe's single patch cycle covered 62 flaws, several critical in Flash and Reader/Acrobat - a volume that leaves little room for deferring the update.
