Adobe’s August Patch Tuesday release impacts Flash Player, and Acrobat DC and Reader.

Microsoft patches 17 critical bugs and 34 important bugs as part of its monthly security bulletin.

The company issued fixes for 112 vulnerabilities in products spanning from Flash Player, Acrobat and Reader, Experience Manager, to Adobe Connect.

An exploit allows attackers to remotely overwrite archive files with their own content, and from there pivot to achieving remote command execution on the machine.

Adobe has issued a round of higher priority patches less than a week after its Patch Tuesday updates last week.

Cisco said an unpatched critical vulnerability exposed by WikiLeaks’ Vault 7 release of CIA documents could give an attacker full control of the targeted switches and routers.

Developers with GitLab fixed a critical vulnerability in the open source repository manager that could have allowed the theft of application files, tokens, or secrets.
