“Microsoft plugs 34 holes; Adobe fixes Flash Player bug by Elinor Mills
Share 18 comments Microsoft released 16 security bulletins today fixing 34 holes, including critical holes in Windows, SMB Client and Internet Explorer, while Adobe Systems fixed a hole in Flash Player that was reportedly being targeted in attacks. Adobe’s quarterly security bulletins include critical updates for Flash Player, Shockwave Player, and Adobe Reader and Acrobat. Meanwhile, Adobe said it will now offer users the opportunity to turn automatic update on by default. Nine of Microsoft’s bulletins are rated ‘critical’ and the remainder are rated ‘important. There are four ‘critical-level’ updates that Microsoft said in a blog post should be addressed first. They are: MS11-042, which fixes vulnerabilities in the distributed file system that affects all versions of Windows. MS11-043, which closes a hole in SMB Client on Windows. MS11-050, which is a cumulative bulletin resolving 11 bugs in Internet Explorer. MS11-052, which fixes a vulnerability in the Microsoft implementation of Vector Markup Language and affects Windows and Internet Explorer 6, 7 and 8.”
