DarkFiber Consulting — Mon, 01 Mar 2010 21:14:01 +0000

Adobe has released two security bulletins to address vulnerabilities in Adobe Acrobat, Reader, and Flash Player.

The first bulletin, APSB10-06, is a security update for Adobe Flash Player and Adobe AIR that addresses a critical vulnerability. Exploitation of these vulnerabilities may allow an attacker to make unauthorized cross-domain requests. The bulletin indicates that the update also addresses a potential denial-of-service issue.

The second bulletin, APSB10-07, indicates that security updates are available for Adobe Reader and Acrobat. These updates address two critical vulnerabilities. Exploitation of these vulnerabilities may allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code, make unauthorized cross-domain requests, or cause a denial-of-service condition.

DarkFiber Consulting encourages users and administrators to review Adobe Bulletins APSB10-06 and APSB10-07 and apply any necessary updates to help mitigate the risks.
