Adobe has released security updates that address an actively exploited vulnerability in Adobe Reader and other critical bugs in Adobe Acrobat, Magento, Photoshop, Animate, Illustrator, and Dreamweaver.

In total, the company addressed fifty security vulnerabilities affecting seven products, with many of them rated as critical as they allow local arbitrary code execution.

The Adobe Reader bug known to be actively exploited in the wild is tracked as CVE-2021-21017.

Adobe advises customers using vulnerable products to update to the latest versions as soon as possible to block attacks that could lead to successful exploitation of unpatched installations.

The full update installers can be downloaded from Adobe's Download Center.

Let the products update automatically, without requiring user intervention, when updates are detected.
