Patch tuesday roundup ..

[ByTeWrangler]

Lot of patches came out this Tuesday.

I just wanted to write a summery for everyone's reference.

Microsoft:
10 Patches.

I don't have to say it, just patch YOUR WINDOWS SYSTEMS! No questions asked!

Technet link :

Adobe:
1 patch: Patching / solving multiple known and few "internally found" issues. ** MUST PATCH **

Affects Acrobat (Reader) on Windows and Mac to Adobe Reader 9.1.2 and Acrobat 9.1.2. Also available are Acrobat 8.1.6 and Acrobat 7.1.3.

Direct download link (to download the patch) : http://www.adobe.com/support/downloa...89&fileID=4187

All acrobat download's : http://www.adobe.com/support/downloa...atform=Windows


Interesting part:

"Security updates for Adobe Reader on the UNIX platform will be available on June 16, 2009". which effectively gives the attacker’s time to reverse engineer the vulnerabilities from the patches for Windows and Mac and build exploits for the Unix versions without those users having any chance to patch.

Apple:
Safari 4.0 released, lot of security patches and is a recommended upgrade.
