I do not claim to be a software engineer, but I believe the issues are caused by the multiple. I have run into a number of issues after applying the Microsoft Tuesday patches that I wanted to share in hopes that it will help others. Issues with Microsoft patches released 01/08/13
#MOST RECENT ADOBE READER UPDATE FOR WINDOWS XP SP3 PATCH#
The Adobe Flash patch fixes at least one critical vulnerability in the media player plugin.

More details about today’s updates from Microsoft can be found at the Microsoft Security Response Center blog and in the security bulletin summaries for each patch.
#MOST RECENT ADOBE READER UPDATE FOR WINDOWS XP SP3 HOW TO#
More information on how to use EMET and script blocking options is available in my Tools for a Safer PC primer. XP users may be better off, however, browsing with Firefox or Chrome with some type of script blocking and/or sandbox in place. Users still on Windows XP will not be able to update to IE9, but may be able to derive some protection from the FixIt tool and by using Microsoft’s EMET tool.
#MOST RECENT ADOBE READER UPDATE FOR WINDOWS XP SP3 UPGRADE#
Users who wish to continue browsing the Web with IE should upgrade to IE9 if possible (IE10 on Windows 8 also is not vulnerable).

“The vulnerability should be tracked closely, as a large percentage of enterprises still run the affected versions.” “Microsoft is not providing a patch today, though they have provided a Fix-It for the issue,” Kandek wrote in a blog post. Wolfgang Kandek, chief technology officer at vulnerability management firm Qualys, said the zero-day IE vulnerability affects 90% of the IE install base at this time. Meanwhile, a working copy of the exploit has been folded into Metasploit, a free penetration testing tool.

Microsoft later issued a stopgap “FixIt” tool to help lessen the vulnerability on affected systems, but researchers last week demonstrated that the FixIt tool only blocked some methods of attacking the flaw, leaving other ways unguarded. In late December, Microsoft acknowledged that attackers were using a previously undocumented security hole in Internet Explorer versions 6 through 8 to break into Windows PCs. Unfortunately, Microsoft did not offer an official fix for a critical Windows flaw that malware and miscreants are already exploiting. Microsoft called special attention to two critical bugs in its XML Core Services component the company said it is likely that malware or miscreants will figure out a way to exploit these flaws in active attacks sometime within the next 30 days. Two of the patches that Microsoft issued today earned a “critical” rating, signifying that these vulnerabilities could be exploited to fully compromise vulnerable Windows systems without any help from users. Adobe pushed out fixes for security issues in Acrobat, Adobe Reader and its Flash Player plugin. Microsoft released seven patches addressing at least a dozen security holes in Windows and other software, although it failed to issue an official patch for a dangerous flaw in its Internet Explorer Web browser that attackers are now actively exploiting. Adobe and Microsoft today separately issued updates to fix critical security vulnerabilities in their products.
