Please note that adobe is at the time of writing inconsistent in the CVE names they fixed (CVE-2010-XXXX vs CVE-2011-XXXX), I've tried to guess the right ones, but we won't know for sure till the CVE databases are up to date.

This is an effort to try to structure the non-microsoft patches more or less in a familiar format on Black Tuesday, depending on the amount of available information available we can have more or less columns. Do let us know what you think of it!

You can thank Tavis Ormandy for this one. WAY more flaws fixed than are listed here, according to him.
