Get your patch chops on people, because chances are you’re running software from
Microsoft,
Adobe or
Oracle that received critical security updates today. Adobe released a
Flash Player update to fix at least 22 flaws, including one flaw that is being actively exploited. Microsoft pushed out 11 update bundles to fix more than two dozen bugs in Windows and associated software, including one that was publicly disclosed this month. And Oracle has an update for its
Java software that addresses at least 15 flaws, all of which are exploitable remotely without any authentication.
