Security News > 2021 > April > Adobe Patches Critical Code Execution Vulnerabilities in Photoshop, Bridge
Adobe on Tuesday announced patches for vulnerabilities in four of its products, including critical code execution flaws affecting Photoshop and Bridge.
In Photoshop, the company fixed two critical buffer overflow bugs that can be exploited for arbitrary code execution in the context of the targeted user.
In its Bridge asset management software, Adobe resolved four critical vulnerabilities that can lead to code execution, including two memory corruption issues and two out-of-bounds write issues.
The latest Bridge updates also fix a couple of important-severity information disclosure and privilege escalation vulnerabilities.
Adobe says none of these vulnerabilities has been exploited in malicious attacks and, based on the priority rating assigned to them, the software giant does not expect them to be exploited in the future.
While a majority of the vulnerabilities found in Adobe products never actually become part of a threat actor's exploit arsenal, some flaws do end up getting exploited in attacks.
