Adobe has released security patches tackling four critical vulnerabilities in Adobe Bridge, along with other critical and important-rated updates for bugs in Adobe Digital Editions, Adobe Photoshop and RoboHelp.
In all, Adobe fixed 10 security holes in its products during its scheduled April updates, seven of them listed as critical.
"This month, Adobe had four updates for Photoshop, Digital Editions, Bridge, and Robohelp and all rated as Priority 3," Chris Goettl, senior director of product management and security at Ivanti, told Threatpost.
Adobe Bridge is a creative-asset manager that helps users preview, organize, edit and publish multiple creative assets in a streamlined way.
Adobe also addressed two critical vulnerabilities in Photoshop, its popular photo-editing software.
The company also patched a final critical vulnerability in Adobe Digital Editions, CVE-2021-21100, which is a privilege-escalation problem allowing an arbitrary file-system write.
