Internet Explorer is one of the software solutions that got fixed today as part of Microsoft's Patch Tuesday cycle, with Microsoft rolling out not only security updates addressing vulnerabilities, but also a new Flash Player improvement to fix recently-found glitches.

Both Internet Explorer 10 and 11 received the new update this morning and it's essential for those who are using it on a regular basis to deploy the patch as soon as possible.

“On May 13th, a security update for Adobe Flash Player in Internet Explorer 10 and 11 on supported editions of Windows 8, Windows 8.1 and Windows Server 2012 and Windows Server 2012 R2 is also available. This update addresses the vulnerabilities in Adobe Flash Player by updating the affected Adobe Flash binaries contained within Internet Explorer 10 and Internet Explorer 11,” Microsoft explained.

Of course, the patch is being delivered to users via Windows Update, so it's enough to connect the computer to the Internet and wait until the download and installation are performed automatically.

Keep in mind that only Windows 8, 8.1, and 8.1 Update client operating systems are getting this update, so in case you're running any other OS version right now, Flash Player isn't patched by Microsoft via Windows Update, which means that you need to get the released fixes manually.
