Version 14.7.7: Note: The downloadable file is a security update for the Microsoft Office 2011 package This update fixes critical issues and also helps to improve security. It includes fixes for vulnerabilities that an attacker can use to overwrite the contents of your computer's memory with malicious code.

A: You and the maker of your computer operating system are the first two parties. Software produced by entities other than the first two parties is considered 3rd party software.

For example, if you have a computer made by Apple and running Mac OS X, then applications such as Adobe Reader, Microsoft Office, Mozilla Firefox and Sophos Anti-Virus are considered 3rd party software.If you have a computer running Microsoft XP or Vista, then applications such as Adobe Reader, Mozilla Firefox and Sophos Anti-Virus are considered 3rd party software.

On Mac OS X you can learn the version number of most applications in one of two ways.

1. Click on the application icon once to select it, then choose Get Info from the File menu.
2. Launch the application and then select the About <application name> from the application’s menu (next to the Apple menu).

On Windows there will commonly be an About <application name> menu item under the Help or Options menu.

Listed below are some common primary software products, 3rd party applications, and layered productsand the most recent version number of that software, as of Thursday, January 28th, 2016, 9:04 AM PST.

Updates that contains critical security fixes are marked with an asterisk (*).

UC Davis Cyber-Safety policy requires that campus units apply all currently available critical security updates within seven calendar days of update release.

Remember what Alan at the SANS Institute says:

When vendors announce a patch, saying they have “fixed the problem,” thepublic is misled. Nothing is “fixed” until the patch is successfullyinstalled. Most vendors and developers take no responsibility forensuring their customers even know about the patches - much less installthem.
