Key notes
No doubt, many of you are waiting for the Patch Tuesday monthly batch of security updates and we’re here to make it a bit easier for you to find what you’re looking for.
It goes without saying that Microsoft isn’t the only company that has such a rollout on a monthly basis. So, in this article, we’re going to talk about Adobe and some of the patches for their products.
As we’re pretty sure you know by now, we will also include links to thedownload source, so you don’t have to scour the internet to find them.
Adobe Framemaker needed the most work this month
Although many didn’t foresee it, last month was a pretty busy one for Adobe, with four updates addressing 70 CVEs in Acrobat and Reader, Photoshop, After Effects, and Adobe Commerce.
May is a lot more light in terms of updates volume, so there really wasn’t that much to fix this time around.
This month, Adobe only released five updates addressing 18 CVEs in Adobe CloudFusion, InCopy, Framemaker, InDesign, and Adobe Character Animator.
Out of all the updates in this rollout, the largest one is the fix forFramemaker, with 10 CVEs in total, out of which nine are Critical-rated bugs that could lead to code execution.
Security experts explained that this could be the case mostly due to Out-of-Bounds (OOB) Write vulnerabilities.
Moving on, the software fixes forInDesignaddress three Critical-rated bugs that could also lead to code execution, out of which two are due to OOB Writes while one is an OOB Read.
Adobe also issued fix patches forInCopy. In this case, we’re talking about three Critical-rated code execution bugs.
Two OOB Writes plus a Use-After-Free (UAF), just in case that was going to be your next question on this subject.
We also got a patch forCharacter Animator,one that fixes a single, Critical-rated OOB Write code execution bug.
And, last but not least, theColdFusionpatch corrects an Important-rated reflected cross-site scripting (XSS) bug.
It’s also important to know that none of the bugs fixed by Adobe this month are listed as publicly known or under active attack at the time of release.
