Adobe has released a security update which resolves two critical vulnerabilities uncovered in Adobe Acrobat and Reader software.
The software giant said the bugs are deemed critical, as they can lead to privilege escalation and arbitrary code execution in the context of the current user.
Adobe revealed the security flaws in a security bulletin published on Thursday.
The first vulnerability, CVE-2018-16011, is a use-after-free problem which can lead to arbitrary code execution if exploited — which, in turn, could permit the execution of malware payloads, account hijacking, and more.
