May Brings Eight Microsoft Bulletins and One Adobe Update

May 9, 2014 By Corey Nachreiner

Patch Day is coming, Patch Day is coming.

In their advanced notification yesterday, Microsoft announced they’d release eight security bulletins next Tuesday to fix security vulnerabilities in a number of their products. The bulletins will include updates for Internet Explorer (IE), Windows, Office, and a yet unnamed Microsoft Server product. They give two of the bulletins a Critical rating, and the rest listed as Important. See the chart below for complete details.

As usual, Adobe shares the same Patch Day and plans to released one update as well. According to their prenotification post, Adobe plans to released a patch for Adobe Reader and Acrobat, which will fix a serious vulnerabilities in the popular PDF reader. They’ve assigned it a priority of 1 (their highest), so you should plan to apply the patch quickly if you use Reader.

In short, if you’re a Microsoft administrator, or you use Adobe products, be ready to test and deploy a number of updates next week. As always, you should start with the critical updates, and work your way down through the less severe ones. I’ll post details about all these bulletins next week, so stay tuned. — Corey Nachreiner, CISSP (@SecAdept)
