Adobe has released out-of-band security updates to fix 18 critical flaws in Adobe After Effects, Illustrator, Premiere Pro, Premiere Rush, and Audition on Windows and macOS devices. The flaws allowed attackers to execute arbitrary code on systems running the vulnerable versions of the software. Adobe typically sends security updates every Tuesday but releases an out-of-band security update to patch critical security flaws or flaws that are known to be publicly exploited. All 18 of the flaws were rated critical and were caused by out of bounds read and write, heap overflow, and memory corruption bugs. Adobe Campaign Classic also had a bug that could result in information disclosure. Adobe has advised all its users to update the apps immediately.
