Adobe on Tuesday released an emergency patch for several critical vulnerabilities in Adobe Reader, including the recent Adobe Flash bug and a separate flaw that was disclosed earlier this month. The patch released Tuesday is outside of the company s normal quarterly update schedule for Reader. The Flash vulnerability was disclosed two weeks ago and Adobe pushed out a patch for Flash quickly. There are some reports that the flaw also can be used to execute remote code, although Adobe did not confirm that. The Reader version of the vulerability took a while longer to fix.
