No new security updates from Adobe this month

Adobe surprised everyone by not rolling out any security updates on this month's Patch Tuesday. This is quite a shocker as the company usually fixes more bugs than you can count in its leaky Flash plug-in. Adobe claims there was nothing to fix this month, and confirms this is the first Patch Tuesday with no updates that they can recall:
“Adobe has become very consistent at releasing Flash Player updates on Patch Tuesday. While this month's lack of security update for flash is extraordinary, there is a good chance we will make it to November Patch Tuesday without a flash update. There is always a chance for a zero day or critical vulnerability that would warrant an out of band as well,” Chris Goettl, Ivanti's product manager, told SC Media.
