Adobe reverses course after being pummeled by users for not patching bugs in older versions of its software. The company will now fix the eight vulnerabilities in Illustrator and Flash Professional CS5.5. Adobe told customers to upgrade to the Creative Suite 6 (CS6) editions if they wanted the patches.

Neither the company nor the company gave a reason for the change.”]
