Adobe Plans Fixes for Critical 3D Bugs in Reader, Acrobat X
Found on eWEEK on Saturday, 07 January 2012
Adobe will fix a slew of security flaws in Reader and Acrobat, including the critical 3D vulnerabilities that were discovered in December, as part of its quarterly update.
Adobe's quarterly updates will include fixes for two vulnerabilities that Adobe patched on Dec. 16 in the Windows versions of Acrobat and Reader 9 and earlier as part of an emergency update.
Best bugfix for Adobe products? Uninstall them. Their flash player and pdf reader are the main attack vectors. Flash will be pointless in the wake of HTML5 and when it comes to pdf, there are quite a few alternatives which, as an added bonus, are by far smaller and faster than Adobe's bloatware.
