Patch Tuesday: Microsoft Security Bulletin Summary for May 2017

Microsoft Patch Tuesday May 2017 addressing 56 security vulnerabilities in addition to 7 vulnerabilities for Adobe Flash Player.

May 11, 2017By Kashinath T7 min read

Microsoft Patch Tuesday May 2017 addressing 56 security vulnerabilities in addition to 7 vulnerabilities for Adobe Flash Player.

The Microsoft Patch Tuesday May 2017 security release consists of security updates for the following software:

  • Internet Explorer
  • Microsoft Edge
  • Microsoft Windows
  • Microsoft Office and Microsoft Office Services and Web Apps
  • NET Framework
  • Adobe Flash Player

Three Windows Zero-day vulnerabilities have been fixed in the Microsoft Patch Tuesday May 2017.

The way Microsoft documents security updates has been changed from April 2017. The previous model used security bulletin webpages and included security bulletin ID numbers (e.g. MS16-XXX) as a pivot point. This form of security update documentation, including bulletin ID numbers, is being retired and replaced with the Security Update Guide. Instead of bulletin IDs, the new guide pivots KB Article ID numbers.

Two critical vulnerabilities added to CISA KEV on September 24, 2026 reveal sharply different exploitation timelines. CVE-2026-71362 saw publicly documented exploitation roughly one day after Adobe's patch release, while CVE-2026-5430 had a 133-day vendor-remediation-to-observed-exploitation interval.
