Adobe Shockwave Player Critical Update

Shockwave Player
Adobe has released a security update for Adobe Shockwave Player for Windows. This update resolves a critical memory corruption vulnerability that could lead to code execution.

Although I have yet to need Shockwave Player on this computer, there are still many people who use it.  If you have Shockwave Player installed, please update to the latest version.

Release date: November 14, 2017
Vulnerability identifier: APSB17-40
CVE number: CVE-2017-11294
Platform: Windows

The newest version 12.3.1.201 is available here: http://get.adobe.com/shockwave/.  As usual, watch for any pre-checked add-ons not needed for the update.

Adobe

Adobe has released security updates for Adobe Reader DC and Adobe Acrobat DC for Windows and Macintosh.  In addition, although Adobe Reader XI reached end-of-life last month, an update has also been released.  These updates address critical vulnerabilities that could potentially allow an attacker to take control of the affected system.  

Release date:  November 9, 2017
Vulnerability identifier: APSB17-36

Update or Complete Download

Update checks can be manually activated by choosing Help > Check for Updates.  Although Reader DC and Acrobat DC are both updated to the 2018.009.20044 version, the unexpected update for Adobe reader remains in the incremental version 11. 
Note: UNcheck any pre-checked additional options presented with the update. They are not part of the software update and are completely optional.
