Microsoft Security Bulletin Summary for November 8th 2016

please correct me i'm wrong but https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/3197868 and https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/3197867 appear identical via the more information page from the update listings

Hi,
Yes it's listed but there is no download links for separate versions of windows = 32 or 64 bit
To get those one has to go to the ms catalog for the stand alone installers,
Microsoft Update Catalog

thanks thrash

i just downloaded and installed the latest update via windows update, set for manual update, and it installed the kb3197868 with malicious tool and defender update with office updates. the kb3197868 corresponded with the correct security only update from Microsoft Update Catalogue.

one restart after update and all is good. hope this assists others.

Hi,
No problem :)

I loaded the 7-8 updates I posted earlier yesterday on my acer and all seems fine so far.
2 more machines to go but no time to do it yet I got an sos from mom yesterday so I'll be busy today :/

Yes, 3197867 is the "security only" update.
3197868 includes both the security patches and the "performance" bits from the Oct 2016 roll-up (3185330).

3197868 installed just fine on my W7 laptop (that already had 3185330).

On a whim, I installed the standalone version of 3197867 on my W7 desktop (that also already had 3185330). It went just fine.
So I was surprised when -- at the next update check -- WU offered me 3197868, even though both 3197867 and 3185330 were installed.
I have since hidden 3197868 on that box, as I'm leery of trying to install it on top of the other two, successfully installed patches, and as I already have the bits that 3197868 supposedly includes.

HTH,

I've only been installing the Security Only rollups.
I've been saving them because they may be needed for new installs (just like driver/program installers).

In a couple of weeks I'll re-image my PC using my September image (to get rid of Android Studio and Java).

I have a doubt. This patch roll up includes one for Adobe Flash Player. Is the same patch installed when I update it on the adobe page ?

It looks like it does, with a caveat; If there was an out of cycle update by adobe, you would probably get the update quicker if you monitored the flash player page then wait until it came down the pipe from windows updates as an out-of -cycle update. In either case and depending how you have updates set, you'll need to monitor each location. I'm thinking a one to two day delay if coming from windows updates.

Here's one road-map to your information:

• In Shawn's original post click on the top link under Source:: Microsoft Security Bulletin Summary for November 2016

• Scroll down until you see the MS16-141Link in the left panel, click on that.

• Fifth line down from the top you'll see "Executive Summary" there's a link at the bottom of that section: Microsoft Knowledge Base Article 3202790, click on that.

• Scroll down about half way and you'll see a section called "File Information" go to the second sub-section also named File information; That's where the file information for adobe flash starts, under the file version column.

• My version 23.0.0.207 matches whats listed on the KB3202790 page.

If you or anyone else has any shortcuts or knows of a different way, please post.

You can also find the latest version on your machine by going to Control Panel/All Items and if you have an Adobe Flash Player icon listed there, open that, and click on the Updates Tab. Clicking on the "Check Now" button takes you to the above link, in my case by way of Internet Explorer even though I'm using Firefox.

This one will only change the settings on your device:

If anyone needs to download the newest version from the adobe downloads center look over the middle "Optional Offers" column to see if you really need what's there.
