Microsoft has released an old-fashioned Security Bulletin, MS 17-005, which shepherds a handful of patches for various versions of Windows. The patches, all called KB 4010250, implement the Flash Player fixes contained in Adobe’s APSB17-04, which fixes 13 critical vulnerabilities. It took Microsoft a week to plug the holes.
The patches are beginning to roll out now through Windows Update on machines running:
- Windows 8.1, RT 8.1 and Server 2012 R2 running Internet Explorer 11
- Server 2012 running Internet Explorer 10
- All versions of Windows 10 — RTM (1507), 1511, 1607, and Server 2016
