Adobe has fixed 16 critical flaws across its Acrobat and Reader applications and its Adobe Digital Negative (DNG) Software Development Kit. If exploited, the flaws could lead to remote code execution.

Overall, Adobe fixed vulnerabilities tied to 36 CVEs in its regularly-scheduled Tuesday security update. Those include 24 critical- and important-severity flaws in its Acrobat and Reader application, used for creating and managing PDF files, and 12 in its Adobe DNG Software Development Kit (SDK), which provides support for reading and writing DNG files used for digital photography.

“Adobe is not aware of any exploits in the wild for any of the issues addressed in these updates,” according to Adobe’s Tuesday alert.
