Adobe has released security updates to fix critical flaws in its Reader and Acrobat applications for both Windows and Macintosh. The updates are emergency fixes for a vulnerability disclosed last month at Black Hat. The flaw could give an attacker the ability to take complete control of remote machines. Adobe pushed the patches out roughly three weeks after the vulnerability was disclosed by security researcher Charlie Miller at the Black Hat conference. The flaws could cause the application to crash and could potentially allow an attacker to take control of the affected system.
