Adobe was also busy sticking its fingers in the security dike this month, rolling out critical security update APSB09-07 with updates for Adobe Reader and Acrobat 9.x, 8.x, and 7.x. Vulnerabilities patched by the updates include stack overflow, integer overflow, memory corruption and heap overflow, all of which could be used to trigger arbitrary code execution.
Stay safe out there!
