Adobe releases emergency patches2010-08-20 08:58 by DanielaTags: Adobe, Acrobat, Flash Player
Software house Adobe has released emergency patches for critical vulnerabilities in its Flash Player, Acrobat and Acrobat Reader. The fixes seem to be covering holes disclosed by researcher Charlie Miller at last month's Black Hat security conference. Miller has made a name for himself picking holes in Adobe's popular Reader PDF viewer. The vulnerability is in Reader's and Acrobat's font parsing, but is not connected with the flaw exploited by hackers to jailbreak Apple's IOS 4 earlier this month. Adobe has made it clear that it was unaware of any exploits in the wild and that this release does not affect the date of the next scheduled quarterly update on 12 October. Read more -here-
