Adobe Releases Security Bulletin to Fix 13 Vulnerabilities

Our internet security solution provider WatchGuard recently issued an alert describing Adobe’s security bulletin release that was issued as part of their quarterly patch day cycle. The bulletin describes 13 vulnerabilities that affect Adobe Reader and Acrobat X 10.1 and earlier, running on Windows and Mac, as well as Reader 9.4.2 for UNIX. An attacker can exploit these vulnerabilities by enticing a user into viewing a maliciously crafted PDF document which could ultimately enable the attacker to gain complete control of 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”.
