Adobe's first update since the Big Breach - RoboHelp, Acrobat and Reader get patches

Update

Adobe's Patch Tuesday fixes are out.

This is business as usual, promised long in advance and expected toay, so there isn't anything in it related to the company's recent network intrusion woes. (We hope!)

There's a RoboHelp update, discussed in APSB13-24, and fixes for Version XI of Acrobat and Reader, discussed in APSB13-25.

The RoboHelp bug allows potential RCE, or Remote Code Execution, so you definitely want the APSB13-24 patch if you're a RoboHelp user.

The Reader XI and Acrobat XI vulnerability is a little different, and it's just the sort of bug that Adobe could have done without right now, because it's what is known as a regression.
