How nice, Adobe has patched security flaws in their Reader and Acrobat software offerings.
The vulnerabilities affect Adobe Reader and Adobe Acrobat Standard, Professional and Elements versions 7.0.8 and earlier, as well as Adobe Acrobat 3D, the company said in its advisory. Secunia rated the Reader flaw as “highly critical”.
The version 7.0.9 updates issued on Tuesday are designed to address holes that could allow outsiders to gain access to hard-disk drives via a malicious link that targets PDF files on vulnerable computers.
This is a good show as the vulnerabilities were only announced yesterday on Secunia.
