Adobe, Microsoft Push Critical Security Fixes
Summary: Microsoft released a dozen patch bundles fixing at least 54 security flaws across Windows, Internet Explorer, Edge, Office, .NET Framework and Exchange, while Adobe issued Flash Player v. 26.0.0.137 to address three vulnerabilities. Qualys flagged the most urgent enterprise fix as a critical Windows Search Service bug exploitable remotely via SMB, affecting Windows Server 2016, 2012, 2008 R2 and 2008 plus Windows 10, 7 and 8.1, and noted it is not related to the SMB flaws used by EternalBlue, WannaCry and Petya.
Bottom line: At least three of the browser flaws were publicly detailed before the patch release, meaning attackers may have had advance notice on how to exploit them while your estate was still unpatched.
