Adobe is also in the big patch

Adobe is a new online version of Adobe Reader and Acrobat to fix almost thirty security vulnerabilities.

Every three months, Adobe synchronizes its latest destination of Adobe Reader and Acrobat with Microsoft's Patch Tuesday to facilitate the deployment administrators. A batch of patches had been scheduled for yesterday to pass the two applications from Adobe version 9.2 with no less than 29 vulnerabilities addressed?

All supported platforms are affected, and in its security bulletin Adobe indicates that vulnerabilities may cause an application crash or be exploited to allow a remote attacker to take control of an affected system.

Adobe recommends users Adobre Reader 9.1.3 and Acrobat 9.1.3 and earlier versions updated to version 9.2. For classes previous versions 8.1.7 and 7.1.4 are also available.

The last week, Adobe stated today corrected a vulnerability was exploited through a specially formed PDF file. Note also patches made to the Mozilla plugin, and for Google Chrome and Opera.
