Adobe security updates confuse users
Adobe has issued a security bulletin warning users of its PDF and Acrobat applications against two widely publicised vulnerabilities but, in the haste to get the relevant patches out of the door earlier this week, one of the two URLs in the update was incorrect.
According to Adobe, its Reader 9.3 for Windows, Apple Mac and Unix, along with Acrobat 9.0, Reader 8.2 and Acrobat 8.2 for Windows plus Apple Mac, are vulnerable to the first potentially serious security flaw. The second flaw could – under the right circumstances – give hackers the opportunity to inject malicious code using flaws in Adobe Reader and Acrobat for Windows, Apple Mac and Unix.
