Microsoft, Adobe Issue Security Updates
Summary: Microsoft and Adobe Systems each issued security updates on Tuesday, with Microsoft releasing a single patch for a font-processing flaw rated "low" on all supported Windows versions except Windows 2000, where it was rated "critical." Adobe's bundle covers at least eight critical flaws, including one being exploited in targeted attacks, and brings Acrobat and Reader to version 9.3 for Windows, Mac and UNIX.
Bottom line: Adobe's update addresses at least eight critical flaws, one of which attackers were already exploiting in targeted attacks, so the patch is not a routine maintenance item for anyone running Acrobat or Reader.
