Hello everyone,

This month (May 2016), patches are available for Adobe Flash, Adobe Acrobat/Reader, Apple iTunes, Google Chrome, and Mozilla Firefox. The top priority this month is Adobe Flash due to a report of an exploit for CVE-2016-4117. The Microsoft Patch Tuesday bulletin addresses this particular CVE (Common Vulnerability and Exposure), but there are several additional vulnerabilities that are remedied by this Flash patch that Microsoft did not originally address.
