Adobe Releases Five Security Bulletins for August

Our internet security solution provider WatchGuard recently issued a high severity alert describing several vulnerabilities in many of Adobe’s popular software packages, including Shockwave Player, Flash Player, Flash Media Server, Photoshop and Robohelp. Ultimately, a remote attacker could exploit the worst of these flaws to gain complete control over the user’s computer.

More information on the security updates, timelines, and installation instructions can be found in the Adobe security bulletins and advisories. To read more about security threats to Adobe applications, please refer to our previous blog post entitled “An Unpatched Adobe Application does for an Unsafe Network Make”.
