[AusNOG] AusCERT Week in Review - Week Ending 8/10/2010 (AUSCERT#20073f686)

Greetings,

 

The week was relatively quiet but it also warns of busy times ahead:

 

- Adobe released updates for Acrobat & Reader a week earlier than initially
announced. [1]

 

- RedHat was the first vendor to quickly follow these with an update to
their acroread package. [2]

 

- In a surprising move Microsoft has provided a very early pre-notification
of next week's patch

  day. A total of sixteen (16) different patches being put forward covering
Internet Explorer,

  the various Microsoft operating systems and Microsoft Office. [3]

 

Because of the very large amount and spread of the upcoming Microsoft
patches we are recommending

organisations have a well organised patch plan in place to offset any issues
that may arise.

 

With that we leave you to enjoy your weekend!

 

- Daniel
