Adobe has released security updates for its Reader software, for Windows, Mac OS X and UNIX, and for Acrobat for Windows and Mac OS X. According to the company’s security bulletin, these updates correct “vulnerabilities [that] could cause the application to crash and potentially allow an attacker to take control of the affected system.” This update also incorporates fixes provided in the last Flash Player update.
These vulnerabilities affect Adobe Reader and Acrobat 9.4 and earlier. Mac users can download the latest versions of the program here, or use Adobe’s Updater tool to update their software.
