Adobe has released security updates to address critical severity vulnerabilities affecting Adobe Acrobat and Reader for Windows and macOS that could enable attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable devices.
Adobe categorized the security updates as priority 2 updates which means that they address vulnerabilities with no public exploits in products that have "Historically been at elevated risk."
Adobe recommends customers to update the vulnerable products to the latest versions as soon as possible to block attacks that could lead to unpatched installations' exploitation.
Last month, Adobe patched 18 critical security bugs affecting ten of its Windows and macOS products that could be exploited to execute arbitrary code.
In October, the company also addressed a critical Adobe Flash Player remote code execution vulnerability that could be exploited by simply visiting a maliciously crafted website.
