Updates released on Tuesday by Adobe for its Acrobat, Acrobat Reader and Experience Manager products patch more than 40 vulnerabilities, but none of them appear to have been exploited for malicious purposes.

The company fixed a total of 39 flaws in its Acrobat and Reader products for Windows and Mac. The security holes, rated important and critical with a priority rating of 2, have been described as security mitigation bypass, heap overflow, use-after-free, out-of-bounds read, and out-of-bounds write weaknesses that can be exploited for privilege escalation or arbitrary code execution.

The flaws impact version 2018.009.20050 and earlier of Acrobat DC Continuous Track, version 2017.011.30070 and earlier of Acrobat 2017, and versions 2015.006.30394 and earlier of Acrobat DC Classic Track.
