There are also three vulnerabilities reported as exploited in the wild . \r\n In this report, we’ll assess how critical the vulnerabilities really are, and how commonplace the affected applications and services are, to provide you with a realistic perspective on the bugs that were fixed. Be on the lookout for these insights in the days after every Patch Tuesday. \r\n This is an updating report and we’ll add more information to it as our research progresses — stay tuned!…
