Adobe is warning of a critical vulnerability that has been exploited in the wild to target Adobe Reader users on Windows.
"Adobe has released security updates for Adobe Acrobat and Reader for Windows and macOS," said Adobe on Tuesday.
In addition to Acrobat and Reader security updates, Adobe also issued patches for critical vulnerabilities in Magento, its e-commerce platform.
There are currently no known exploits for these flaws, said Adobe.
Adobe on Tuesday also patched critical-severity flaws in Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Animate and Adobe Illustrator.
Adobe's February fixes come on the heels of a busy January security update, when the company patched seven critical vulnerabilities.
