Microsoft and Adobe Updates

Microsoft Updates

Microsoft released 6 security bulletins (1 rated critical, 4 rated important, and 1 rated moderate)

that address 7 vulnerabilities in Microsoft products. 

 

Critical Bulletin MS 12-020 is a remote code execution in the Remote Desktop Protocol.  All

versions of Microsoft Windows should apply this update as soon as possible.

 

LSU computers will download and install the updates as scheduled by either its group policy

or local security center settings. Remember to close all applications at the end of work day today

because several updates require a reboot to complete installation.

Adobe Updates

Adobe released 2 security bulletins that address critical vulnerabilities in Adobe Flash Player

and important vulnerabilities in Coldfusion. Users should update to the latest supported versions.

A Secunia package for Adobe Flash Player should be deployed later this week to patch clients

participating in the Secunia Service from ITS.
