Update your Adobe Acrobat, Reader, and Lightroom now to avoid critical code execution

Update your Adobe Acrobat, Reader, and Lightroom now to the latest version for avoiding critical code execution

Back in the month of May, Adobe fixed bugs and other vulnerabilities with a total of 36 vulnerabilities in its three products. Adobe pushed a security update for the three products to fix the vulnerabilities. Out of 36 vulnerabilities, 16 were classified as ‘Critical’ as they allow code execution or the bypassing of security features. Now the company has patched another 26 vulnerabilities that allowed attackers to execute critical code.

The company has released a new version of the Adobe Acrobat, Reader, and Lightroom which fixes critical code execution. Out of 26 vulnerabilities, eleven are classified as ‘Critical’ because they allow attackers to bypass security features or perform remote code execution on vulnerable computers.

With the remote code execution technique, the threat actor can abuse your system by running critical commands and leak data. It can also install multiple spyware and other software that copies your data and leaks it immediately. To avoid this exploitation it is strongly recommended to update your Adobe software to the latest version.
