9/10/24 - Windows updates, Adobe Acrobat/Reader, PaleMoon
Today is "Microsoft Tuesday" --- the SECOND Tuesday of the month --- on which Microsoft is expected to release its monthly cycle of Windows security updates. Based on previous history, they should become available at 1 P.M. [USA - Eastern DAYLIGHT SAVING Time]
Please use Windows/Automatic Updates to determine which updates are applicable to your particular system.
Adobe and PaleMoon should also be releasing updates today.
Backed out support for FFmpeg 7.0/libavcodec 61 (Linux) due to it causing a major regression in WebAudio (broken on all platforms). This is being worked on to re-land at a later date.
Restricted the NotifyPaintEvent interface to chrome code only; there is no reason (other than potential tracking/fingerprinting) to have this accessible from content.
Fixed a potentially exploitable issue in JavaScript (FetchName).
Fixed a code correctness issue in XPConnect when creating sandboxes. DiD
Added a warning for using externally handled usenet protocols.
Security issues addressed: CVE-2024-8383 and CVE-2024-8381.

This release is a planned update for Acrobat and Acrobat Reader which provides various new features for end users described in the New features summary.
