Security News > 2021 > October > These couldn't wait for Patch Tuesday: Adobe issues bonus fixes for 92 security holes in 14 products

A mere two weeks after its most recent set of security patches, Adobe has issued another 14 security bulletins covering 92 CVE-listed bugs.

Adobe's repairs apparently represent planned maintenance rather than an out-of-band release, even though October's Patch Tuesday - the second Tuesday of the month - has come and gone.

"While we strive to release regularly scheduled updates on Patch Tuesday, occasionally these regularly scheduled security updates are released on non-Patch Tuesday dates," a company spokesperson said.

Coincidentally, in conjunction with its MAX 2021 event, Adobe said Photoshop and Illustrator are now available in limited form for the web as beta software.

"It's unusual for Adobe to release so many patches out of cycle - especially when there are so many patches in different products," said Dustin Childs, communications manager for Trend Micro's Zero Day Initiative, in an email to The Register.

Adobe says it's not aware of any exploitation of these flaws in the wild.
