Acrobat 9 Critical Update!
Posted on Thursday, March 19, 2009 in Adobe
I know this is an AE blog, but most of you are running Acrobat or Reader also. I received an email from Gary Hohler, Adobe Specialist, saying that a critical vulnerability has been identified in Acrobat Reader 9 and Acrobat 9 and earlier versions. This vulnerability would cause the application to crash and could potentially allow an attacker to take control of the affected system.
Adobe recommends users of Adobe Reader and Acrobat 9 update to Adobe Reader 9.1 and Acrobat 9.1. Adobe has updates for Adobe Reader 7 & 8 as of March 18th. In addition Adobe plans to make available Adobe Reader 9.1 for Unix by March 25th.
Download Updates Here
- Adobe Reader users update to Adobe Reader 9.1
- Acrobat 9 Pro Extended users on Windows update to Acrobat 9.1
- Acrobat 9 Pro users on Macintosh update to Acrobat 9.1
Adobe categorizes this as a critical issue and recommends that users apply the update for their product installations.
