This December Patch Tuesday attackers have added a smattering of coal to the gifts in our holiday stockings. You don’t want the Flash exploits slipping down the chimney while your back is turned, so make sure Adobe is on your list for maintenance goodies. Attackers could also turn the lights out on your holiday festivities via a Microsoft zero day and public disclosure, so prioritize those CVEs—and make sure you’ve checked off the other updates before shutting off the lights on 2018. Happy patching and happy holidays!
