Microsoft
The September 2023 Windows security update includes fixes for 59 known issues, like security bypasses and information disclosure vulnerabilities, and patches for two zero-day flaws.
Go to Start > Settings > Windows Update > Check for updates.
Adobe
Download the patch here to fix a zero-day vulnerability in Acrobat and Reader.
Go to Help > Check for Updates, or download the full Acrobat Reader installer.
Yikes. This is the fourth zero-day fix for Chrome this year. The good news is your Chrome browser should automatically check for updates and install them after a restart.
To double-check in Chrome, hit the three dots in the top right corner, then Help > About Google Chrome.
The Android September 2023 update is out, too.
Open Settings > System > System update.
Apple
For newer iPhones and iPads, download iOS 16.6.1 to secure your device from the latest zero-day vulnerabilities.
Have an iPhone 6, 7, SE or an iPad Air 2 or iPad mini? Download iOS 15.7.9 and iPadOS 15.7.9 to fix the same problem. You know it’s bad when Apple updates even its old gear.
If you have automatic updates enabled, you’re all set. To check: Settings > General > Software Update.
Apple also released security updates for its older operating systems, macOS Big Sur 11.7.10 and macOS Monterey 12.6.9.
Click the Apple menu > System Preferences > Software Update.
