Adobe on Tuesday released fixes for at least 72 security vulnerabilities across multiple products and warned that Windows and macOS users are at risk of code execution, memory leaks, and denial-of-service attacks.
The Patch Tuesday rollout addresses critical security defects in Adobe Acrobat and Reader, Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign, Adobe Commerce, and Dimension and the company is warning that the most severe of these vulnerabilities could allow attackers to take complete control of a target machine.
Adobe documented at least 12 flaws in the widely deployed Adobe Acrobat and Reader software that could expose users to code execution, privilege escalation, and memory leaks.
Affected versions include Acrobat DC, Acrobat 2024, and Acrobat 2020 on both Windows and macOS platforms.
