"Adobe Calls Attention to Massive Batch of Code Execution Flaws"

Adobe recently released fixes for 72 security vulnerabilities across multiple products and warned that Windows and macOS users are at risk of code execution, memory leaks, and denial-of-service attacks. The company noted that the patches address critical security defects in Adobe Acrobat and Reader, Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign, Adobe Commerce, and Dimension and is warning that the most severe of these vulnerabilities could allow attackers to take complete control of a target machine. Adobe fixed 12 flaws in the widely deployed Adobe Acrobat and Reader software that could expose users to code execution, privilege escalation, and memory leaks. Affected versions include Acrobat DC, Acrobat 2024, and Acrobat 2020 on both Windows and macOS platforms. The Adobe Illustrator product was also given a major security update to cover at least 7 documented vulnerabilities on both Windows and macOS systems. Adobe said the Illustrator flaws were rated critical, and they also introduced code execution risks.
