Adobe released the Flash Player patches last week to address flaws that could potentially help attackers remotely execute malicious code.

Identified as MS17-005, the new security bulletin contains critical patches for Windows 8.1, Windows RT 8.1, Windows 10 and Windows Server 2016. Meanwhile, the patch is rated moderate for Windows Server 2012 and Windows Server 2012 R2. Microsoft rolled out the patches via Windows Update since the Flash Player on those versions of the operating system comes bundled with the Internet Explorer 11 and Edge browsers by default. Here is the full change log:

Alongside Microsoft, Adobe usually delivers its patches on Patch Tuesday which happens once every month. However, Microsoft put off this month’s event until March due to an undisclosed issue, making the sudden release of the Flash Player patch a bit surprising.

  • Microsoft releases February security patches
  • Hold off on installing the next buggy Windows 10 Patch Tuesday release
