Back in the days of Internet Explorer
6 the browser became a bit of a joke,
not to mention a security nightmare.
But since then, Microsoft has stepped
up its game, improving security and
making its product compatible with
today's web standards.
But nothing is ever completely
secure, which leads to the occasional
patches and security bulletins. That's
brings us to the September update,
which the company has now
outlined. Bulletin MS14-052 is set to
resolve known problems, one of
which was made public, though the
other 25 (yes 25!) were privately
reported to the company.
There also a fix, perhaps not
surprisingly, for Flash. The Adobe
program has been in a race to the
bottom with Java for sometime, with
both becoming known for security
problems. "This security update for
Adobe Flash Player in Internet
Explorer 10 and 11 on supported
editions of Windows 8 , Windows 8.1
and Windows Server 2012 and
Windows Server 2012 R2 is also
available. The details of the
vulnerabilities are documented in
Adobe security bulletin APSB14-21",
Microsoft states in the
announcement.
If you have automatic updates turned
on then you should receive
everything just fine. If not then either
enable it or download and install
manually. For the average user this
should be enabled, though the tech
savvy out there frequently change
these settings to suit their needs.
