Adobe’s widely deployed PDF Reader and Acrobat software products will get security band-aids on May 10 to cover dangerous vulnerabilities that put users at risk of hacker attacks.
In a pre-patch advisory issued today, the company said the upcoming updates will cover “critical” vulnerabilities on the Windows and Max OS X platforms.
The company urged IT administrators and end users to prepare for security updates for the following products:
- Acrobat DC Continuous 15.010.20060 and earlier versions (Windows and Macintosh)
- Acrobat Reader DC Continuous 15.010.20060 and earlier versions (Windows and Macintosh)
- Acrobat DC Classic 15.006.30121 and earlier versions (Windows and Macintosh)
- Acrobat Reader DC Classic 15.006.30121 and earlier versions (Windows and Macintosh)
Adobe classifies a “critical” vulnerability as an issue that would allow malicious native-code to execute, potentially without a user being aware.
