A majority of critical-rated vulnerabilities (i.e., 26) in Adobe Acrobat and Reader reside due to use-after-free, 6 due to out-of-bounds write, 4 are type confusion bugs, 4 due to untrusted pointer dereference, 3 are heap overflow bugs, one buffer overrun and one race condition issue.
Adobe fixed a privilege escalation flaw in Download Manager for Windows that is caused by insecure file permissions.
Adobe also addressed a dozen flaws in the Experience Manager marketing solution. An attacker could exploit the vulnerabilities to gain unauthorized access to an organization’s Experience Manager environment.
The company also fixed a XSS flaw in the Experience Manager Forms that lead to the disclosure of sensitive information.
The good news is that Adobe is not aware of any attacks exploiting the vulnerabilities in the wild.
