The company said it was not aware of any exploits in the wild for any of the documented issues.

The security-themed updates also cover critical code execution vulnerabilities in Adobe Illustrator (Windows and macOS); code execution and memory leak software defects in Adobe Substance 3D Painter; an arbitrary code execution bug in Adobe Aero;  and critical issues in the Adobe Animate software.
