It’s time once again to roll up the sleeves and get patching. This month we have thirteen security bulletins and associated updates from Microsoft. The updates address at least forty-four security vulnerabilities in Windows, Internet Explorer, Edge, Office, Windows Server, and .NET. Five of the updates are flagged as Critical.

Adobe’s contribution this month is new versions of Acrobat/Reader. You may have noticed that Adobe has confused things by splitting Acrobat/Reader into several variations: classic, continuous, and desktop. According to Adobe, the continuous variant always has all the most recent updates, fixes, and new features. I think it’s safe to assume that’s the variant most people should be using. The new continuous version of Reader is 15.010.20060. All of the new versions include fixes for three security vulnerabilities.
