Security News > 2021 > March > Adobe Critical Code-Execution Flaws Plague Windows Users
Adobe has issued patches for a slew of critical security vulnerabilities, which, if exploited, could allow for arbitrary code execution on vulnerable Windows systems.
Affected products include Adobe's Framemaker document processor, designed for writing and editing large or complex documents; Adobe's Connect software used for remote web conferencing; and the Adobe Creative Cloud software suite for video editing.
"Adobe is not aware of any exploits in the wild for any of the issues addressed in these updates," according to an Adobe spokesperson.
Adobe fixed a critical flaw in Framemaker, which could allow for arbitrary code execution if exploited.
Adobe also fixed three critical vulnerabilities in the desktop application version of Adobe Creative Cloud for Windows users.
This month's regularly-scheduled security fixes come on the heels of an actively-exploited critical flaw in February, which attackers leveraged to target Adobe Reader users on Windows.
