ShyWriter Posted June 10, 2014 ID:840056 Share Posted June 10, 2014 .Adobe, Microsoft Push Critical Security Fixes by Brain Krebs | 10 june 2014 Adobe and Microsoft today each released updates to fix critical security vulnerabilities in their software. Adobe issued patches for Flash Player and AIR, while Microsoft’s Patch Tuesday batch includes seven update bundles to address a whopping 66 distinct security holes in Windows and related products. The vast majority of the vulnerabilities addressed by Microsoft today are in Internet Explorer, the default browser on Windows machines. A single patch for IE this month (MS14-035) shores up at least 59 separate security issues scattered across virtually every supported version of IE. Other patches fix flaws in Microsoft Word, as well as other components of the Windows operating system itself. Most of the vulnerabilities Microsoft fixed today earned its “critical” rating, meaning malware or bad guys could exploit the flaws to seize control over vulnerable systems without any help from users, save perhaps for having the Windows or IE user visit a hacked or booby-trapped Web site. For more details on the individual patches, see this roundup at the Microsoft Technet blog. Adobe’s update for Flash Player fixes at least a half-dozen bugs in the widely-used browser plugin. The Flash update brings the media player to v. 14.0.0.125 on Windows and Mac systems, and v. 11.2.202.378 for Linux users. To see which version of Flash you have installed, check this link.

Root Admin AdvancedSetup Posted June 10, 2014 Root Admin ID:840072 Share Posted June 10, 2014 That has to be close to the most fixes they've done. Pretty hard to have 100% solid code that still actually works and others don't abuse. Thanks Steve Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Root Admin AdvancedSetup Posted June 11, 2014 Root Admin ID:840460 Share Posted June 11, 2014 My system updated with 18 updates today and I restarted. So far nothing obviously wrong but sometimes these updates are so complex it takes days or weeks to figure out what caused it when you do finally see an issue.

jadinolf Posted June 11, 2014 ID:840466 Share Posted June 11, 2014 Y'know, I wish it was possible to uninstall Internet Explorer. I see so many updates for it coming in but I, personally, have no use for it. I guess Windows 7 needs it but honestly, I have never even seen the Windows 7 version.
