Reader, Acrobat Patches Plug 23 Security Holes
Summary: Adobe released a security update for its PDF Reader and Acrobat software that fixes at least 23 security holes, including two vulnerabilities attackers were actively exploiting, and urged users of versions 9.3.4 and earlier on Windows, Mac and UNIX to upgrade to version 9.4. Adobe said one of the 23 flaws was being actively exploited, while a second zero-day flaw in Flash Player also present in Acrobat and Reader had no known attacks in those products at the time.
Why it matters: Two of the 23 holes were already being used to break into computers, so anyone still running Reader or Acrobat 9.3.4 or earlier is exposed until they upgrade to 9.4.
