This month, besides the usual pile ‘o patches from Microsoft, we have updates for Adobe Reader/Acrobat, but (big surprise) not for Flash.

There are sixteen Microsoft updates, addressing thirty-seven vulnerabilities in Windows, Internet Explorer, Office, Edge, and .NET. There’s also Microsoft Security Advisory 3155527. At least one of the vulnerabilities (CVE-2016-0189) is being actively exploited. This flaw could allow an attacker to execute malicious code if an unpatched computer visits a malicious or compromised web site.

The Adobe Reader update addresses over ninety vulnerabilities, which must set some kind of record. And not the good kind. If you use Reader in any context, you should update it to address these critical security issues.
