September 2012 Patch Tuesday

September will be a relatively light month overall but the Java vulnerability in Java 7 update 7 has really caused some waves.

Microsoft

On the Microsoft side, the September Patch Tuesday will be mercifully light, especially after the last two months.  There are two bulletins, one affecting the MS Developer Tools and one affecting Windows Server.  Additional details are available from Microsoft here.

Adobe

The latest updates from Adobe, as of right now, were released on 31 August.  Additional details are available from Adobe here.

Java

The big news this month has got to be Java.  We noted in late August that a vulnerability Java 7 update 6 was found and then confirmed that it was being *actively* exploited in the wild.  Oracle has posted Java 7 update 7 but there have been some reports that there are still issues.  Java downloads are available here.
