Adobe preps Reader, Acrobat updates for Tuesday

As expected, Adobe is planning to release updates to its flagship Reader and Acrobat products on Tuesday, the company announced Thursday. The updates affect Reader 9.3.2 and earlier versions for Windows, Mac and Unix and Acrobat 9.3.2 for Windows and Mac. Tuesday's release comes two weeks earlier than scheduled because Adobe rushed to correct a zero-day vulnerability that is being actively exploited. An unknown number of other "critical" holes also are expected to be plugged, according to a bulletin released Thursday. — DK
