Adobe Fixes Critical Vulnerabilities in Photoshop CS6

Adobe has released a security update for Adobe Photoshop CS6 (13.0) for Windows and Mac OS X to address two security vulnerabilities that, if exploited, could let an attacker take over a system.

Both flaws (CVE-2012-4170 and CVE-2012-0275) stem from buffer overflow vulnerabilities that could lead to code execution. At the time of publishing, Adobe said they have not seen any exploits in the wild related to the issues addressed in this security fix.
