Security Updates for Adobe Acrobat, Reader
Summary: Adobe released updates bringing Acrobat and Reader to version 9.3.3, with a separate update for the older 8.2 line reaching 8.2.3, to fix a critical flaw attackers have been exploiting to break into vulnerable systems. Patches cover Windows, Mac, Linux and Solaris, and the same vulnerability also existed in Adobe's Flash Player, which Adobe fixed on June 10.
Key Takeaway: The flaw was already being exploited in the wild, and the update path itself pulls in third-party software and a Download Manager that has introduced its own security vulnerabilities in the past - so the fix carries its own exposure.
