Pierluigi Paganini September 18, 2014

Adobe with a week of delay on the roadmap has released security updates to fix critical vulnerabilities in Acrobat and Reader PDF.

“Adobe has released security updates for Adobe Reader and Acrobat for Windows and Macintosh. These updates address vulnerabilities that could potentially allow an attacker to take over the affected system.” states the Adobe Security Bulletin.

The updates were originally scheduled to be released a week ago, but were delayed due to issues emerged during the development phase.

Five of eight flaws could be exploited by attackers for remote code execution, the other three vulnerabilities are:

  • a sandbox bypass vulnerability and could be exploited by an attacked to escalate privileges on Windows machines.
  • a denial-of-service (DoS) vulnerability related to memory corruption.
  • a cross-site scripting (XSS) flaw that affects only Mac OS.

The vulnerabilities are identified by the following CVE Numbers:

CVE-2014-0560, CVE-2014-0561, CVE-2014-0562, CVE-2014-0563, CVE-2014-0565, CVE-2014-0566, CVE-2014-0567, CVE-2014-0568

The Adobe product versions affected by the vulnerabilities are:
  • Adobe Reader XI (11.0.08) and earlier 11.x versions for Windows
  • Adobe Reader XI (11.0.07) and earlier 11.x versions for Macintosh
  • Adobe Reader X (10.1.11) and earlier 10.x versions for Windows
  • Adobe Reader X (10.1.10) and earlier 10.x versions for Macintosh
  • Adobe Acrobat XI (11.0.08) and earlier 11.x versions for Windows
  • Adobe Acrobat XI (11.0.07) and earlier 11.x versions for Macintosh
  • Adobe Acrobat X (10.1.11) and earlier 10.x versions for Windows
  • Adobe Acrobat X (10.1.10) and earlier 10.x versions for Macintosh
Once the software is updated, the system must be restarted. Adobe has also issued a critical update for Adobe Flash (Windows and Macintosh), Flash browser plugins and Adobe AIR Desktop to fix other critical flaws.
The new versions can be downloaded by using the following links:
  • Reader on Windows
  • Reader on Mac
