Acrobat & Adobe Reader updated to fix security holes
by Jon on Jan.15, 2010, under Steve Faulkner
Despite the fact that many of us sit here and think we are untouchable on our Mac’s by viruses and other nasties its still important to keep those applications we use most patched and up to date.
In a bulletin released on Tuesday, Adobe says there are ”critical vulnerabilities” that could crash your applications or “…potentially allow an attacker to take control of the affected system.” They recommend that anyone using version 9.2 and earlier update to Adobe Reader 9.3 and Acrobat 9.3 right away. Likewise, those using Acrobat 8.1.7 should update to version 8.2.
We also recommend you complete these updates and you can find more details and the patches themselves by clicking here.
