Notice anything missing from last week’s Microsoft Patch Tuesday?
Obscured by a long list of Microsoft patches and some fuss about a missing SMB fix, the answer is Adobe, which normally times its update cycle to coincide with the OS giant’s monthly schedule.
It’s mostly a practical convenience – admins and end-users get all the important client patches at once, which includes Adobe’s ubiquitous Acrobat and Reader software.
And yet March’s roster was Adobe-less. This week the company made amends, issuing fixes for an unusually high CVE-level 41 vulnerabilities, 21 of which are rated critical.
